Seneca College v Bhadauria, [1981] 2 SCR 181 is a leading decision of the Supreme Court of Canada on civil rights and tort law.

Bhadauria, an East Indian woman, was qualified to teach in Ontario and had seven years experience.

She argued that the college had violated the common law tort of discrimination.

Since Bhadauria could show that such a right existed and that it had been violated by the practices of the college she would be entitled to remedy.

The court reasoned that a tort of discrimination was unnecessary since Bhadauria already had access to the human rights regime.
