	OHRC - 1997 Case Summaries
		The Divisional Court dismissed the respondents' appeal and held that the board of inquiry correctly found that the application of the employer' s sick leave policy constituted direct discrimination on the basis of pregnancy and sex by denying benefits to the complainant.
		Secondly, the Divisional Court found that the Commission erred in its decision to refuse to investigate the allegations of reprisal in the context of the original complaint of discrimination and in its insistence that a separate complaint of reprisal was necessary.
		The Divisional Court, in its 1991 decision, held that there was insufficient evidence before the Board of Inquiry for it to conclude that age was a factor in the Complainant being refused the apartment.

		The Divisional Court disagreed that the size, shape and nature of the area expropriated was such that there was no general demand or market for it.
		The Divisional Court also felt that there had been an error by the Ministry’s appraiser in that he did not determine the market value of "the whole of the claimant’s land", but only of Parts 1 and 2 leaving Parts 3 and 4 out of his analysis.
		The Divisional Court held that the OMB had erred in valuing the parcel as if the aggregate would be extracted immediately.

	City of Toronto: Preserving Rental Housing
		The Court found that s.16(1) of the Planning Act clearly authorizes the by-law, particularly in light of s.2(j) of the Planning Act, which states that the adequate provision of a full range of housing is a matter of provincial interest, for which municipalities and the OMB must have regard.
		The Court relied in part on the legislative debates surrounding the TPA where the Minister of Municipal Affairs clearly stated that the intent of the TPA was not to remove the authority that municipalities had prior to its enactment.
		The Divisional Court found that in the present case: "the authority in broad terms is given to the City to enact the subject amendment to the official plan...Whatever the difference is between the municipality and the province in the case before this panel, they are not in conflict."

		Rafaj’s motion for leave to appeal the decision of the Divisional Court to the Court of Appeal was dismissed.

		On March 13, 2000, the Divisional Court allowed Dr. Jagoo’s appeal of the decision of the Discipline Committee on the basis that its reasons were inadequate, and that it had made errors with respect to the apprehension of some of the evidence.

	OHRC - 1999 Case Summaries
		The majority of the Divisional Court held that the "facts upon which the complaint is based" in clause 34(1)(d) must be facts which involve the complainant'since the most recent fact involving the complainant occurred outside six months, the Commission had jurisdiction pursuant to clause 34(1)(d).
		In the Tilberg case, the Divisional Court held that the Board did not have the jurisdiction to continue with the hearing of the complaint in the absence of the Commission which had the statutory duty to "have the carriage of the complaint," pursuant to section 39(2) of the Code.
		The Divisional Court held that its limited role was to determine whether or not the Commission's decision to not deal with the complaint was patently unreasonable in the circumstances.

	McCarthy Tétrault LLP - Publications - Divisional Court Says Employer On the Hook for Ontario Health Premium (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The Divisional Court’s decision in Lapointe is significant as the first court decision to consider the issue of whether old collective agreement language obliging an employer to pay the former "OHIP Premium" obligates that employer to pay the new cost of employees’ Ontario Health Premium.
		The Divisional Court determined the applicable standard of review of Arbitrator Barrett’s award to be patent unreasonableness and in so doing it gave a high degree of deference to the Arbitrator.
		The Divisional Court found the reasoning in Ontario Power Generation to be "logical, reasonable and compelling" and equally applicable to Arbitrator Barrett’s award.

		The Divisional Court also found that there was no connection between the denial of severance pay and the circumstances of disabled individuals whose employment had become frustrated.
		The Divisional Court concluded that denying severance pay to employees who are unable to continue their employment due to disability sends the message that the contributions of those employees were not as valuable as the contributions of able-bodied employees.
		Lastly, the Divisional Court concluded that the fact that Tilley had received disability benefits was irrelevant to a determination of whether it was discriminatory to deny her severance pay, as the purpose of severance pay was to compensate Tilley for her past service to the Hospital.

	Litigation can prove a costly nightmare
		But when the case finally reached the Court of Appeal in December, 2005, three judges of that court ruled that it did not have the right to hear the appeal and it should be heard by the Divisional Court, after all.
		The factors to be considered by the Court in the exercise of its discretion are the conduct of the applicant, the gravity of the breaches, and the disparity between the value of the property forfeited and the damage caused by the breach.
		It is not the role of an appellate court to replace the exercise of discretion by the motions judge.

	House of Lords - Regina v. Bartle and the Commissioner of Police for the Metropolis and others EX Parte Pinochet (on ...
		As for the second provisional warrant, the Divisional Court rejected the respondent's argument that it was unlawful to proceed on the second warrant and that the Magistrate erred in not holding an inter partes hearing.
		The Court did not rule at that stage on the respondent's argument that the acts alleged did not constitute crimes in the United Kingdom at the time they were done, but added that it was not necessary that the conduct alleged did constitute a crime here at the time the alleged crime was committed abroad.
		The Court read the international warrant as accusing the respondent not of personally torturing or murdering victims or causing their disappearance, but of using the powers of the State of which he was Head to do that.

	Indexed as Anderson v. Wilson
		The Divisional Court was wrong to put aside the group of persons who received notice of the possibility of infection, were tested, and were uninfected.
		Thus, the Ontario Court of Appeal has firmly embraced the "plain and obvious" test, and has made clear that it too is of the view that the test is rooted in the need for courts to ensure that their process is not abused.

	Child Support \| Issues \| Ontario Women's Justice Network
		It found that the motions court judge had erred in failing to carry out the second sep in the analysis outlined above, and that she was, therefore, wrong to depart from the Guidelines amount.
		Conclusion and Disposition: The Divisional Court set aside the motions court decision and restored the original child support order of 1998, increasing the amount of child support to be paid to $688, in accordance with the father's increased income.
		The Divisional Court makes it clear in its ruling that payors will only be able to reduce their level of support if there is clear and compelling evidence that this is in the child's interests, and not by merely claiming that the child spends a significant amount of time in the payor's custody.

	IN THE SUPREME COURT OF CANADA
		The Divisional Court ordered a full disclosure by the OHRC to the respondent "to ensure that justice be done" on the consideration that "The allegations of racial discrimination against the respondents are extremely serious, with the result that the duty of fairness requires full disclosure."
		However, the Divisional Court 's integrity must be challenged if the Court refuses to apply the same practice and reasoning to the disclosure requests of human rights complainants (such as that of mine) even it is in the judicial review process where the OHRC is bond by law to fully disclose all documentary evidence.
		This has set a precedent in the Canadian justice system that the courts can openly and literally refuse to apply the Canadian law to minority litigants, and this is an overt and blatant racial discrimination in court by the court.

		Mr Woolf, who appeared as amicus curiae, and to whom the court is indebted for his assistance, submitted that the magistrate has a residual discretion to hear a proposed defendant if he felt it necessary for the purpose of reaching a decision.We would accept this contention.
		The thrust therefore of that warrant makes it plain that the applicant is charged not with personally torturing or murdering victims or causing their disappearance, but with using the power of the state of which he was head to that end.
