Request to limit witness production at Toronto hearing denied; responding party must utilize scheduled days.

The responding party in a union certification application sought to be relieved of its obligation to produce its witnesses at a hearing scheduled in Toronto, proposing to bring only one witness from Ottawa.

The Ontario Labour Relations Board denied the request, noting its policy that the first two days of hearings for parties located more than a three-hour drive from Toronto must be held in Toronto.

As the responding party bore the onus, it was responsible for ensuring sufficient witnesses were present to make full use of the scheduled hearing days.

Section 69 sale of business applications dismissed; prima facie case found for section 1(4) related employer applications.
