Summary
Case summaries are prepared by the Office of the Registrar of the Supreme Court of Canada (Law Branch). Please note that summaries are not provided to the Judges of the Court. They are placed on the Court file and website for information purposes only.
Mr. Hiamey filed an application with the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario alleging discrimination in respect of residential accommodation because of his ethnic origin and his receipt of public assistance, and also alleging reprisals taken against him contrary to the Human Rights Code, R.S.O. 1990, c. H.19. The respondent City made a request for a summary hearing, which the Tribunal granted. The adjudicator dismissed Mr. Hiamey’s application, finding that there was no reasonable prospect that it would succeed. Mr. Hiamey’s request for reconsideration was denied by the adjudicator, who found that he had not established any of the criteria that would justify reconsidering the Tribunal’s final decision. The Divisional Court dismissed the application for judicial review. The Court of Appeal dismissed the application for leave to appeal.
