The applicants brought a motion for review of an order by Abella J.A. The Court of Appeal dismissed the motion, finding it had no jurisdiction to address the merits of the underlying dispute or grant most of the requested remedies, such as reinstatement.
Furthermore, the applicants failed to seek the required leave to appeal under s. 6(1)(a) of the Courts of Justice Act.
The court also rejected the applicants' claim that the Union or the Ontario Labour Relations Board had an obligation to provide them with counsel.
