Document Summary
Fired because you were pregnant- human rights act - protects us from discrimination in three venues , workplace, accommodation (landlord discriminating), and in stores. Systematic discrimination- indirect discrimination- lets say, one must be 6 feet tall to get the job. Alternate dispute resolution- a type of court too expensive for most people> Mediation- mediator helps two parties come to a resolution . Whatever arbitrator says, goes- very fast and convenient than a regular court. Bunch of people have been wronged by a defendant- pool their money and become part of a class action lawsuit. Such as suing a cigarette companies or pharmaceutical. The court must certify the class action. Main reason, take an action if a party breaches the terms of the contract. There has to be an intention to be bound by a promise made. Parties not at arm"s length- court will not presume the intention, if the people bound by contracts are friend"s or relatives.
