"Ontario Court Awards Damages under Human Rights Code" Case in Point - Hicks Morely

Court awarded damages for breach of human rights in addition to damages for failure to provide reasonable notice. Held that the employees injury was at least part of the reason for termination and therefore the employee had been discriminated against  as well the employer was disingenuous at times failing in its duty to act fairly in dismissing an employee.

The court held the employer could conclude there was no reasonable likelihood of the employee returning to work within a reasonable period of time, based on the extension of Long Term Disability  Benefits. Being on Long Term Disability Benefits does not preclude an employee from being terminated for being absent.
