In an article published on the Report on Business edition yesterday, the Globe and Mail describes the issues surrounding Mr. McCormick’s mandatory retirement complaint to the BC Human Rights Tribunal.
Mr. McCormick succeeded in having the BC Human Rights Tribunal accept jurisdiction to hear his discrimination complaint, in spite of the employer’s submission that he was not a person entitled to the protection of the Human Rights Code, as he is a law partner in a law partnership.
That issue will be addressed in an application by the employer for judicial review, which is scheduled to be heard on May 5th and 6th, 2011.
