"An Ottawa public servant who was fired for slapping his boss across the face has been reinstated and awarded $25,000 in damages for the pain and suffering he endured by having his human rights abridged."There's an interesting precedent... "assault with an excuse."
Note, however, that this was not a totally one-sided victory for the slapper...
Marie-Claire Perrault, a member of the Public Service Labour Relations and Employment Board rejected Naim Rahmani’s request that his managers undergo specialized human rights awareness training.That's right, the "human rights" functionaries drew the line at forcing the guy who got assaulted to go to "sensitivity training."
