The applicant filed an Employment Standards claim with the Ministry of Labour and subsequently filed a human rights Application with the Tribunal.
The Tribunal issued a Notice of Intent to Defer, which the applicant opposed and the respondent supported.
The Tribunal found that the two proceedings raised overlapping issues, including allegations of discrimination and wrongful dismissal, creating a risk of inconsistent findings.
As the Employment Standards claim was filed earlier and was at a more advanced stage, the Tribunal ordered the deferral of the human rights Application pending the conclusion of the Ministry of Labour proceeding.
