Why this matter is tracked
In Wang v. Mongeon, 2025 HRTO 2859, the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario dismissed an application alleging discrimination by a judge. The applicant, a self-represented litigant, claimed the respondent judge exhibited racial bias during a court proceeding. The Tribunal held that the doctrine of judicial immunity bars such claims, noting that judicial independence precludes the Tribunal from reviewing judicial conduct or decisions. During the proceedings, the applicant cited three specific HRTO decisions to support his position. The Tribunal found that none of these cases exist; the provided citation numbers correspond to unrelated matters. The adjudicator noted this raised concerns regarding the applicant's potential use of artificial intelligence and reminded the party of the responsibility for submission accuracy.
