The applicant hospital sought judicial review of an interim order made by the Ontario Labour Relations Board requiring the provision of properly trained security personnel in a forensic psychiatric unit.
The respondents argued that reviewing the interim order before the Board had completed its proceedings would be an inappropriate, fragmented approach.
The Divisional Court agreed, finding the application premature as the Board's proceedings were still ongoing and the impugned order was only one aspect of a broader safety regime being considered.
The application was dismissed with costs awarded to the respondent unions.
