The Pay Equity Office (P.E.O.) applied to the Tribunal seeking to enforce a Review Officer's order against the employer and the union.
The employer and the union had previously settled their dispute regarding the pay equity plan and argued that the P.E.O. lacked standing to challenge their settlement or enforce the order.
The Tribunal held that the P.E.O. is not a party to proceedings under subsection 32(1) of the Pay Equity Act and does not meet the test for participation under the Statutory Powers Procedure Act.
The Tribunal concluded that the P.E.O. has no statutory jurisdiction to review settlements or enforce orders in these circumstances, and dismissed the application for lack of standing.
