The Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario (HRTO) is a specialized body that resolves complaints of discrimination and harassment based on “protected grounds” like race, disability, age, religion, or sexual orientation. If you have been treated unfairly in your workplace, housing, or by a service provider, you have the right to seek justice.
At Karb Law, we are passionate advocates for those whose fundamental rights have been violated. We help clients articulate their experiences into a formal Application, ensuring that every instance of discriminatory conduct is documented. We understand the emotional toll these cases take, and we provide a supportive environment while building a rigorous legal strategy for your protection.
The HRTO process often involves a mandatory mediation stage, where both parties attempt to reach a settlement. Having an experienced lawyer during these negotiations is crucial to ensure you receive a fair remedy, which may include financial compensation for “injury to dignity, feelings, and self-respect.”
If mediation fails, the case proceeds to a formal hearing—a process similar to a trial where witnesses are examined and legal arguments are made. Our firm provides comprehensive representation at these hearings, cross-examining respondents and presenting evidence to prove that discrimination occurred. We navigate the specific Rules of Procedure of the Tribunal to ensure your case is presented with the gravity it deserves.
Winning a Human Rights case is often about more than just money; it’s about systemic change. The Tribunal has the power to order “public interest remedies,” such as forcing an employer to undergo human rights training or changing a company’s discriminatory policies.
At Karb Law, we work with our clients to identify the specific goals of their application. Whether you are seeking reinstatement to a job, compensation for lost wages, or a formal apology, we fight for a result that restores your dignity. We stay updated on the latest human rights jurisprudence to provide you with the most current and effective legal advice.
