A recent decision of the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal found that racism played a significant and improper role in a theft under investigation. The Regional Municipality of Peel Services Board and Richard Elkington (the Peel police officer) were awarded costs against them jointly in the amount of $20,000. The Peel police were also required to implement a number of protocols to deal with racism in police investigations.
The full judgment can be found here: Ontario Human Rights Commission v. Regional Municipality of Peel Services Board, 2007 HRTO 14 (CanLII)
