So says the Human Rights Tribunal itself in Reid v. Molson Coors Canada which involved a Summary Hearing. According to the Tribunal:
The summary hearing process is outlined in Rule 19A of the Tribunal’s Rules of Procedure. In a summary hearing, the issue is whether the Application should be dismissed in whole or in part on the basis that there is no reasonable prospect that the Application or a part thereof will succeed.
The Tribunal dismissed the application as there was "no real prospect that the Application will succeed". The Tribunal observed:
It is evident that the parties are engaged in a number of work-related disputes and that the applicant feels that he has been treated unfairly by the respondents and his union. The Tribunal, however, is not a panacea for workplace disputes and general allegations of unfairness. The Tribunal’s authority is to determine whether there has been discrimination on a ground prohibited by the Code or a reprisal for asserting one’s Code rights.
This is another case in a growing line of cases where the Tribunal has taken a narrow and foccused view of its role and function.
