On November 8, 2024, the Federal Court of Appeal has granted a partial victory in my case, sending a crucial issue back to the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC) for redetermination. This decision challenges previous rulings and recognizes that my perceived disability argument deserves a fair review.

“The appeal is allowed in part. The decision of the Canadian Human Rights Commission (File Number 20220355) dated October 18, 2022 is remitted to the Commission for redetermination solely with regards to whether the appellant’s complaint of discrimination on the ground of perceived disability is frivolous under section 41(1)(d) of the Canadian Human Rights Act, R.S.C. 1985, c H-6. Without costs.”

After years of setbacks, this ruling marks a positive shift, allowing me to keep pushing forward for justice. Previous decisions from the CHRC and Federal Court dismissed my claims entirely, but the Federal Court of Appeal’s acknowledgment of my perceived disability argument is a hopeful step toward a fair assessment of my case.
