0980-00-ES Canadian Tire Corporation Limited, Applicant v. Avery Freemantle and Ministry of Labour, Responding Parties.
Employment Practices Branch File No. (None Provided)
BEFORE: D. L. Gee, Vice‑Chair.
DECISION OF THE BOARD; July 7, 2000
1. The applicant filed its application for review by facsimile. The Board's Rules of Procedure do not allow for the filing of applications for review by facsimile and accordingly the application was returned to the applicant's counsel by the Board. By facsimile dated July 5, 2000 the applicant seeks an extension of time for the filing of the application for review.
2. The Board's power to grant extensions of time for the filing of an application for review is set out in section 68 of the Employment Standards Act (the "Act"). Section 68 stipulates that the Board cannot grant such an extension until an application, which includes the payment of monies set out in the order to pay, has been filed. To date no monies have been paid and no application for review has been properly filed with the Board.
3. The Board has no jurisdiction to grant an extension of time for the filing of an application for review in the circumstances.
“D. L. Gee”
