The applicant brought an application for judicial review of an arbitrator's interpretation of schedules to two expired collective agreements.
Prior to the hearing, the parties ratified new collective agreements.
The Divisional Court dismissed the application, finding the matter moot as there was no longer a live controversy between the parties.
The court declined to exercise its discretion to hear the moot case, emphasizing that it does not provide advisory opinions and that the applicant had an obligation to bargain scheduling issues rather than await a court decision on expired agreements.
