Alberta Human Rights Commission and Ladislav Mihaly

Association of Professional Engineers Geoscientists of Alberta: The association required Mihaly to write exams to confirm his credentials, but after failing two tests and refusing to take others he filed a complaint with the Alberta Human Rights Commission in 2008, according to Toronto Star. In 2014, a human rights tribunal ruled the tests were discriminatory and ordered the association to reconsider Mihaly application and pay him $10,000 in damages. Ladislav Mihaly, from the former Czechoslovakia, had been seeking since 1999 to register with the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta. The tribunal also required the association to form a committee to review any of his perceived academic deficiencies, to consider exempting him from exams and to provide him with a mentor to guide him into the engineering profession. The tribunal reasons leading to conclusion that APEGA could have accommodated Mr. Queen Bench Justice June Ross said the tribunal ruling contained errors and was unreasonable.
