The following excerpt is from Hoyt v. Canadian National Railway, 2006 CHRT 33 (CanLII):
A prima facie case of discrimination is one which covers the allegations made and which, if they are believed, is complete and sufficient to justify a verdict in the complainant's favor, in the absence of an answer from the respondent-employer.(O'Malley v. Simpson-Sears Ltd. 1985 CanLII 18 (SCC), [1985], 2 S.C.R. 536 at para 28).
