Facts: Anjie Tarek-Kaminker, a Crown Prosecutor and observant Jew with five children, filed a grievance when her telework arrangement was not renewed, alleging discrimination on the basis of religion, family status, and disability.
Issues/Main Discussion: Tarek-Kaminker challenged the Federal Public Service Labour Relations and Employment Board's decision, claiming procedural unfairness and failure to consider intersecting grounds of discrimination properly.
Ruling: The Federal Court of Appeal dismissed her application for judicial review, finding the Board's decision reasonable and procedurally fair, and not persuaded by Tarek-Kaminker's arguments regarding intersectionality and the treatment of family status discrimination.
Amount Awarded: No specific amount was awarded; the appeal focused on procedural and substantive issues related to the grievance and discrimination claims.
