Q&As from the webinar

Human rights

How can condo corporations deal with competing human rights claims?

Corporations should try to understand the nature of the claims and see if there is a way to work with the parties collaboratively towards solutions that can accommodate everyone.

As covered in our recent webinar, ultimately corporations are required to accommodate up to the point of undue hardship under the Ontario Human Rights Code.

Undue hardship is assessed based on the likelihood that the accommodation would cause significant costs or health & safety risks for the accommodator.

Corporations should seek legal advice to understand their specific situations.

 

Can a condo corporation request an individual to provide supporting information from a medical professional when considering an accommodation request?

Corporations can request supporting documentation related to the accommodation, but only up to the point that is required to consider the individual’s request.

Seek legal advice to understand your specific obligations.
