Settlement agreement reached via email following mediation enforced; Board's refusal to approve stock options unreasonable.
The plaintiff moved to enforce a settlement agreement purportedly reached via email correspondence between counsel following a full-day mediation in a wrongful dismissal action.
The defendant argued the emails only represented an 'agreement to agree' and that the settlement was conditional on Board approval of an additional stock option grant, which was denied.
The court found that the parties had agreed on all essential terms and that the defendant's Board had no reasonable basis to decline the stock option grant.
The motion was granted, and the settlement agreement was ordered to be enforced.
Respondent's request to prohibit union from intervening in member's human rights application dismissed.
The respondent requested an order prohibiting the union from intervening in the applicant's human rights application alleging discrimination in employment.
The Tribunal found no exceptional circumstances to deny the union's intervention, noting that a union generally has an interest in an application brought by an employee in its bargaining unit.
The request to prohibit intervention was dismissed, with the scope of intervention left to the hearing adjudicator.
