Is this settlement effectively resolved a human rights complaint?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Morton v. Corporation of Delta Fire Department, 2016 BCHRT 203 (CanLII):
The following factors are important to help me determine whether this settlement effectively resolves a human rights complaint and it therefore does not further the purposes of the Code for the complaint to proceed: • The Union and Delta were involved in the initial accommodation, once the disability was confirmed. This is as it should have been because the Union must be involved in attempts to reasonably accommodate employees, especially when the accommodation could affect other members of the bargaining unit. See: Central Okanagan School District No. 23 v. Renaud, 1992 CanLII 81 (SCC), [1992] 2 S.C.R. 970.
