Let’s be clear about what already happened – and what comes next.
🧾 1. Two Courts Already Found Discrimination
The Divisional Court (on the appeal) recognized and upheld the findings of discrimination first made by the Condominium Authority Tribunal (CAT).
That’s not an interpretation – it’s in black and white in the decisions.
What they did not have was jurisdiction to award damages for discrimination, because the Condominium Act does not grant that power.
They addressed procedural fairness and governance – not human-rights compensation.
🧭 2. The HRTO Is the Right Forum
The Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario is the only venue that can order remedies for the discriminatory conduct already identified in the CAT ruling and reinforced by the courts.
The HRTO case isn’t a retry.
It’s the next legal step – the one that actually deals with damages and systemic accountability.
🔍 3. The Record Speaks for Itself
- The CAT found that the corporation’s conduct was harsh, retaliatory, and discriminatory.
- The courts accepted and relied on those findings.
- None of these rulings were overturned or contradicted.
The evidence has already been tested. The HRTO will now determine remedy and redress.
⚖️ 4. What This Means
The substance of discrimination was already proven and upheld.
The formality that remains is to quantify the harm through the HRTO – the body empowered to do so.
In short:
The courts confirmed what happened.
The Tribunal will confirm what it’s worth.
