The British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal
(“BCHRT”) recently dismissed a
complaint of discrimination in the workplace, stating that the
employer's investigation, and settlement offer, adequately
resolved the complaint.1
The BCHRT, in reaching their decision to dismiss the
complaint, reviewed whether the steps taken by the employer were
reasonable and effective. In making this determination, the BCHRT
must be persuaded that the employer 1) took the complainant's
discrimination complaint seriously; 2) appropriately addressed the
impact on the complainant; and 3) took appropriate steps to ensure
the discrimination would not happen again.
