3. Prima facie discrimination because of disability
From: Policy and guidelines on disability and the duty to accommodate
Once a disability within the meaning of section 10 of the Code is established, the individual has the burden of showing a prima facie case of discrimination.
Discrimination under the Code can be direct (refusal to grant a job or provide access to services or housing, for example, because of a disability), indirect, constructive (adverse effect) or based on society’s failure to accommodate actual differences.
