Ontario Human Rights: Telfer

Saadi Dept: The Superior Court struck down the fatally flawed decision as so unfair to defendant Maxcine Telfer who represented herself in the hearing that it was simply not possible to logically follow the pathway taken by the adjudicator, according to The Star. The woman who lodged the complaint, Seema Saadi, told the tribunal she felt pressured to wear skirts and heels instead of her hijab. Saadi also said Telfer complained about the smell of food that she warmed in the microwave and a Mississauga businesswoman whose home was ordered seized to pay an Ontario Human Rights Tribunal award to a former employee can keep her house for now. That October 2009 decision ordered Telfer to pay $36,000 to a woman who had been her employee for six weeks. Lawyers wanted the sheriff to seize and sell Telfer s home to collect the money. As reported in the news.
