2009 Hicks Morley Hamilton Stewart Storie LLP Labour Law Advocacy Competition
Omar participated in the 2009 Hicks Morley Hamilton Stewart Storie LLP Labour Law Advocacy Competition.
The case centered around the issue of mandatory retirement, and whether it would uphold a Charter challenge.
The problem was based on a real case at the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal, Vilven v. Air Canada, 2007 CHRT 36, and used cases such as McKinney v. University of Guelph (1990), 76 D.L.R. (4th) 545 (S.C.C.), and Re CKY-TV and C.E.P., Local 816 (Kenny) (2008), 175 L.A.C. (4th) 29 (Peltz).
