A few pages back, someone made a great post about ridiculous Canadian Human Rights tribunal decisions. But they forgot a really insane one that is probably the closest match to Yaniv:
Mamela v. Vancouver Lesbian Connection, in which a lesbian organization was fined $3000 for kicking out a man. Despite the fact that they didn't actually discriminate in the first place, but kicked him out for behaviour that included tons of over the top boundary violation.
A short news article description:
The full case, which is well worth reading in its entirety:
The BC HRT decided in favour of this asshole way back in 1999. (The lesbian org basically dissolved, from what I can tell, or went underground. Not sure if the fine got paid.) I think the tribunal will decide in favour of Yaniv.

In general, your behaviours were disruptive to the overall functioning of the centre. During the time that you accessed the centre, it became increasingly difficult for staff and volunteers to fulfill [sic] their job roles and responsibilities. These behaviours include:
1. arriving at the centre before it opened and refusing to leave after it has closed on a daily basis;
2. constantly interrupting staff and volunteers while they provided support to other centre users or perform administrative duties;
3. continuously monopolizing conversations with staff, volunteers and centre users about you and your needs;
4. answering the business/crisis line without proper training or permission;
5. accessing the back office and using the computer without permission;
6. using the VLC as your personal mailing address although you were asked not to;
7. repeatedly ‘coming on’ to staff and volunteers despite their lack of interest;
These behaviours denote a lack of respect for personal and organizational boundaries. When we attempted to discuss your behaviour and the impact of your behaviour on others, you did not respond by changing your behaviour. In fact, you continued to engage in many of the same behaviours. Finally, when we asked you to leave the centre until we contacted you, instead of respecting the request, you responded with increasingly aggressive and threatening behaviour by encroaching on women’s personal space in an intrusive and intimidating manner. In addition, you have made repeated attempts to access the centre as well as our staff and volunteers which made our process of deliberation that much longer.
