The Law of Sexual
Harassment in Ontario
This book reviews all
issues confronting the
disabled employee
This book reviews the legal remedies
available to the victim of sexual
harassment both under the Ontario
Human Rights Code and at Common Law
There are two main
divisions to the book:
Section One deals with the manner of making a claim for disability
benefits and the typical defences raised by the insurer. It also sets
out potential remedies for LTD benefits against the employer.
Section Two deals with remedies that may be available against the
employer for adverse treatment afforded to the disabled employee,
both at common law and under the human rights process.
The duty of accommodation is reviewed in detail as is the law on
the subject of frustration.
The issue of the remedy under the human rights process is
explored, including the lost income claim, reinstatement and
damages for hurt feelings.
A detailed index sets out the full 1,200 pages of the text.
The book explores in detail the remedies
under the Human Rights Code and at
Common Law
… including the remedy available for the failure of the employer to investigate
the complaint and the remedy of reprisal for employer conduct in punishing the
complainant for the threats of a human rights action.
There is a considered analysis of the lost income claim and how and why it is
substantially different from a wrongful dismissal claim.
The remedy of reinstatement is also reviewed, particularly in the context of the
recent decision awarding 8½ years of back pay and reinstatement (in a disability
failure to accommodate case).
Common law remedies in tort are also explored in depth.
The reader will understand the law and be able to prepare suitable steps for a
corporate policy to investigate, defend and prevent such claims.
