Description:

This portable guide provides instant access to the Ontario Human Rights Code and digests of court decisions not only from Ontario and the Supreme Court of Canada, but also from the British Columbia and federal jurisdictions. Moreover, the digested Ontario tribunal decisions include the Ontario Arbitration Board and the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario. This is a useful reference for labour and employment law practitioners as well as human resource professionals because it includes:
  • the full text of the Ontario Human Rights Code, as amended;
  • the Abridged Policies and Guidelines of the Ontario Human Rights Commission;
  • the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario Rules of Practice and
  • section-by-section annotations of over 950 decisions on the Ontario Human Rights Code as well as federal and British Columbia human rights legislation.
The 2008 Annotated Ontario Human Rights Code also features:
  • Over 100 new case law digests of tribunal and court decisions, both reported and unreported. Key decisions on human rights have been made, particularly regarding disability. The Supreme Court of Canada has indicated that:
    • either a planned or existing physical barrier in the delivery of services must be removed unless there is a bona fide justification for it retention (VIA Rail Canada Inc. v. Canadian Transportation Agency);
    • the collective agreement plays an important role in assessing the scope of the employer’s duty to accommodate; however it is not determinative (McGill University Health Centre v. Syndicat des employes de l’Hopital general de Montreal).
  • amendments to the Code, pursuant to the Human Rights Code Amendment Act, 2006, which will come into effect June 30, 2008; these changes completely overhaul the processing of human rights complaints.
This edition also contains four new Human Rights Commission Policies/Guidelines:
  • Discrimination on the basis of Family Status
  • Human Rights Commission Complaint Process Service Guide
  • Accessible Education
  • Discrimination against Older Persons
The legislation cited in this edition is current to Ontario Gazette 140:44 (November 3, 2007).
