The parties in two related pay equity applications reached a settlement and requested that the Tribunal issue a consent order varying a Review Officer Order, while withdrawing their respective applications.
The Tribunal declined to issue the requested consent order, noting that it lacked sufficient evidence to answer pertinent questions about the agreed terms.
Furthermore, the Tribunal highlighted that under section 25.1 of the Pay Equity Act, written settlements are binding and enforceable without the need for a consent order.
