The Tribunal in Morgan v Herman Miller Canada Inc. awarded a complainant damages not because discrimination had taken place, but because the employer failed to investigate the complaint of discrimination. In Fair v Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board, the complainant received an award that included reinstatement and nine years of back pay after the Tribunal found a breach of the Ontario Human Rights Code (Code). In Monrose v Double Diamond Acres Limited, the Tribunal awarded a migrant worker no longer living in Canada significant damages for a violation of his dignity and a breach of his right to be free from reprisal.
