Costs of $2,500 awarded to moving party following divided success on motion to change support.
Following the settlement of a motion to change child and spousal support, both parties sought full recovery of their costs.
The moving party sought to terminate spousal support, while the responding party initially refused to acknowledge the moving party's right to a review.
The court found divided success and criticized both parties for unreasonable behavior and lack of civility.
Finding that the responding party's initial aggressive position tipped the scale slightly in the moving party's favour, the court awarded the moving party fixed costs of $2,500.
Employer ordered to pay union remittances for sewer and watermain work under cross-over collective agreement clause.
The applicant union referred a grievance to the Board under section 124 of the Labour Relations Act, alleging the respondent employer failed to make required remittances for various funds.
The employer argued it was not bound by a collective agreement for sewer and watermain work.
The Board held that while a preliminary 'short agreement' was not a collective agreement, the parties' Concrete and Drain Agreement was binding.
Under article 10.04 of that agreement, the employer was required to apply the terms of the Sewer and Watermain Agreement to such work, even after the latter agreement had expired.
The Board directed the employer to make the required remittances.
