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.
The respondent employed the applicant for approximately 17 years, but terminated his employment in 2018. The applicant complained to the Canadian Human Rights Commission that the termination was discriminatory on the basis of a disability. The Commission dismissed the complaint, finding that there was a reasonable, non-discriminatory explanation for the applicant’s termination.
The Federal Court dismissed an application for judicial review, holding that the Commission’s decision was reasonable and its procedure fair.
The applicant appealed, but did not comply with the procedural requirements of the Federal Court of Appeal in a timely fashion. A judge of that court directed the applicant to explain why his appeal should not be dismissed for delay. The applicant made representations, but did not satisfy the court that his delay was justified or that he had proposed a timetable for prosecuting his appeal. A panel of the Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal for delay.
