Robinson v. York Condominium Corporation No. 365 (Ontario Human Rights Tribunal)

The Applicant was a resident in the high-rise condominium.  She suffered from electro-magnetic sensitivity, which the Human Rights Tribunal described as a “very complex medical condition that is extremely disabling”.  She claimed that changes made to the building’s security system had caused her suffering to increase, due to increased electro-magnetic radiation in and around her unit.  She made a claim for accommodation to the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal.

The Tribunal dismissed the claim.  The Tribunal said that the evidence did not indicate that the changes to the security system had increased electro-magnetic radiation in any way that could have affected the Applicant’s symptoms.
