This is an annual publication. The 2010 edition was released December 2009.

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.

On June 30, 2008, Ontario human rights legislation changed dramatically; part IV of the Human Rights Code, relating to the processing of human rights complaints, has been completely amended. The Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario now handles discrimination applications from start to finish.

This guide provides instant access to the consolidated Ontario Human Rights Code and digests of tribunal and court decisions. 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; updated 2009;
  • The Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario Rules of Procedure, June 2008;
  • The Process for Resolving Human Rights Applications, Information from the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario
  • 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 2010 edition includes extensive new case law digests of tribunal and court decisions including:
  • When dismissing employees, employers are under a duty to act fairly. They are required to be candid, reasonable, honest and forthright. If they act otherwise they may be responsible in damages, though the onus is on the employee to establish that the employer engaged in bad faith conduct or unfair dealing in the course of dismissal. (Dwyer v. Advanis Inc. 2009)
  • This Court has held that the standard of review with respect to the Commission's discretionary decisions under sections 36 and 37 of the Code is reasonableness. The Court need not determine the standard of review for the procedural fairness issues raised by the applicant; rather, we must determine whether the appropriate level of procedural fairness was accorded to the applicant.( Brock v. Ontario (Human Rights Commission) 2009)
The legislation cited in this edition is current to Ontario Gazette 142:45 (November 7, 2009).
