The applicant employer sought judicial review to quash an arbitrator's interim order compelling it to produce documents for a full audit by the respondent union.
The union brought a cross-motion to dismiss the application as premature.
The court dismissed the employer's application for judicial review, agreeing with the union that the application was premature because the arbitrator's order was an interim award that did not resolve the grievance on its merits.
The court emphasized that judicial review of interim orders is only available in very narrow "exceptional circumstances," which were not met here, and found no significant harm to the employer from the ordered production and audit.
