Decision
1The parties met September 16, 2025 to attempt to mediate a settlement of this grievance. At this session the parties agreed to the following continuation dates and case management schedule:
April 10, 2026 and April 23, 2026 are set as continuation dates.
The Parties will proceed by utilizing “will say” statements for the chief of the witnesses instead of hearing viva voce evidence. The statements may be supplemented with brief testimony.
Below is the timetable for the exchange of documents, particulars and the will says:
- By October 15, 2025, AMAPCEO will provide its particulars and request for production.
- By November 15, 2025, the Employer will provide production.
- By December 15, 2025, AMAPCEO is to produce the Complainant’s will say and any documents it intends to rely upon.
- By January 31, 2026, the Employer is to produce the will says for its witnesses and any documents it intends to rely upon.
- By February 28, 2026, AMAPCEO will provide any reply will say and documents.
- The Parties will advise each other by March 10, 2026 as to how long they estimate that their cross-examination will take.
- The parties also agreed to prepare a joint document book. Although no specific time was set for this presumably it can be done once the will says and documents have been finalized.
2In the event that the parties require my assistance with any of this, a conference call can be scheduled.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 19^th^ day of September 2025.
