The appellant was dismissed for accepting a trip from a client, contrary to company policy.
An arbitrator found the dismissal unjustified and substituted a four-month suspension.
The employer sought judicial review.
The Supreme Court of Canada held that the arbitrator did not exceed his jurisdiction, as his interpretation of his remedial powers under the Act respecting labour standards was correct, and his decision to substitute a lesser penalty was not patently unreasonable.
The appeal was allowed and the arbitrator's award restored.
