Sample Statement of Particulars Sample: Complainant (Jamie Larose v. Company XYZ) Tribunal File No.: T1234/5678 CANADIAN HUMAN RIGHTS TRIBUNAL BETWEEN: Jamie Larose Complainant and CANADIAN HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION Commission and COMPANY XYZ Respondent STATEMENT OF PARTICULARS OF THE COMPLAINANT Facts 1. I am paralyzed from the waist down and get around through the use of a wheelchair. 2. On January 2, 2012, I visited the Respondent’s offices to receive the services they offer. 3. Upon arrival at the Respondent’s office building, I discovered that there is a flight of stairs that impede my access to the building. 4. There is no wheelchair ramp or other way for me to access the Respondent’s office building. 5. On January 3, 2012, I called the Respondent to see how I might be able to access their services, considering I could not access their office building. A Customer Service Representative told me that Company XYZ’s services could only be accessed in person at their office building. As a result, I was told that Company XYZ could not provide me with the services I requested. Legal Issues 6. I allege that the Respondent discriminated against me based on my disability, under section 5 of the Canadian Human Rights Act (the Act), by denying me the services it offers. 7. Company XYZ offers their services to the general public. However, because their services can only be accessed in person, and because their office building does not provide for wheelchair access, I was denied those services because of my disability. 8. Being denied services from Company XYZ hurt my dignity as a person and made me feel as though I was not an equal with other people who do not require the use of a wheelchair. 9. I had to go to another company to receive the services I requested from the Respondent. That other company offers the same services, but at a much higher price. It cost me an additional $1,000 to get the same services I requested from the Respondent.
