The union applied for substantive interim relief to prevent the responding limousine companies from transferring a service agreement to a third party, pending the resolution of an unfair labour practice complaint.
The Board held that following the Bill 31 amendments to the Labour Relations Act, it no longer has the jurisdiction to grant substantive interim relief under either its home statute or the Statutory Powers Procedure Act.
The Board's interim relief powers are now strictly limited to procedural matters.
The application for interim relief was dismissed.
