The Human Rights Tribunal has tossed out an application that could have derailed a discrimination complaint lodged against a Vancouver police officer.
The tribunal has dismissed the claim by Constable Taylor Robinson, who argued the complaint against him was unlikely to succeed.
The ruling means a full hearing will be held into the complaint by Sandy Davidsen, a small woman who suffers from cerebral palsy and multiple sclerosis.
Davidsen filed her complaint after video showed her being pushed to the ground by a police officer as she tried to walk between three constables who were patrolling the sidewalks of Vancouver's Downtown Eastside.
