What is the scope of the inquiry during a summary hearing?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Tiano v. Toronto (City), 2013 HRTO 32 (CanLII):

The inquiry during a summary hearing was set out as follows in Dabic v. Windsor Police Service, 2010 HRTO 1994 (CanLII) at paras. 8 and 9: In some cases, the issue at the summary hearing may be whether, assuming all the allegations in the application to be true, it has a reasonable prospect of success. In these cases, the focus will generally be on the legal analysis and whether what the applicant alleges may be reasonably considered to amount to a Code violation. In other cases, the focus of the summary hearing may be on whether there is a reasonable prospect that the applicant can prove, on a balance of probabilities, that his or her Code rights were violated. Often, such cases will deal with whether the applicant can show a link between an event and the grounds upon which he or she makes the claim. The issue will be whether there is a reasonable prospect that evidence the applicant has or that is reasonably available to him or her can show a link between the event and the alleged prohibited ground.
