Is statistical evidence relevant, relevant and probative?
Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from Chopra v. Canada (Department of National Health and Welfare), 2001 CanLII 8492 (CHRT):
The Canadian Human Rights Tribunal adopted a similar position, in the case of Dhanjal v. Air Canada (50): In short, statistical evidence is useful, relevant and probative when it reveals a disparity in treatment toward members of a racial minority in the course of certain discriminatory decisions by the employer, as in hiring, promotions, dismissals, discretionary decisions, etc. Statistical evidence must also have a direct relationship to the decision that is the subject matter of the complaint.
