The applicant sought judicial review of an arbitration award interpreting a collective agreement provision regarding salary protection for downwardly reclassified employees.
The arbitrator found the provision unambiguously entitled these employees to economic increases and revisions.
The Divisional Court dismissed the application, finding the arbitrator's interpretation, treatment of estoppel, and refusal to use extrinsic evidence to create ambiguity were reasonable.
The court also rejected the applicant's argument that the arbitrator breached natural justice by citing authorities not provided by the parties, as no novel issue was raised.
