OBA Labour & Employment Law PROGRAM | 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM (ET)
In Weilgosh v. London District Catholic School Board, the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario recently confirmed that it has concurrent jurisdiction with labour arbitrators over the human rights complaints of unionized employees. While this decision maintains the status quo for unionized employees in provincially regulated workplaces in Ontario, it also highlights the Tribunal’s broad deferral and early dismissal powers under the Human Rights Code. Learn from our panel of experienced practitioners as they discuss the implications of Weilgosh and provide you with key takeaways and practical guidance for navigating these issues and more, including:
- Strategic considerations in selecting the forum in which to raise human rights allegations
- Whether and when to file a request for early dismissal or deferral of a Tribunal application
- The test for determining whether an application’s substance has been “appropriately dealt with” under s. 45.1 of the Code
- How to deal with issue estoppel in the context of concurrent proceedings
