What is the applicant’s claim that, due to the nature of her disability, she was unable to review and understand the Minutes of Settlement in the context of the July 8, 2015 meeting?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Zealand v. Metro Canada Inc., 2016 HRTO 1040 (CanLII):

The applicant’s next assertion is that, due to the nature of her disability, she was unable to review and understand the Minutes of Settlement in the context of the July 8, 2015 meeting, and signed the settlement to get herself out of the meeting. In order to succeed with an assertion that, because of a disability, an applicant was incapable of agreeing to the terms of a settlement that was signed by her, there needs to be specific medical evidence that supports such an assertion: see Dickson v. General Motors of Canada Limited, 2013 HRTO 1347 at para. 30. While the applicant has filed general medical documents regarding the nature of her disability, no specific medical evidence has been provided by her to support that her disability prevented her from reviewing and understanding the terms of the Minutes of Settlement or from requesting further time to have an opportunity to do so.
