The responding company in an unfair labour practice complaint brought a motion for a pre-pleading production order against the Pension Commission of Ontario, a non-party.
The company sought access to records and submissions to assist in preparing its response to the complaint.
The Board dismissed the motion, holding that pre-pleading production from a non-party is inappropriate and amounts to a fishing expedition.
The Board also vacated two summonses issued to a Commission official, finding them defective and premature.
