1172-97-R Labourers’ International Union of North America, Ontario Provincial District Council and on behalf of its Affiliated Local Unions, Applicant v. Teperman Wrecking Inc. and Teperman and Sons (Canada) Limited and Teperman and Sons Inc., Responding Parties.
BEFORE: Harry Freedman, Vice-Chair.
APPEARANCES: Carolyn Hart and Nelson Melo for the applicant; Michael G. Sherrard and Sean Teperman for Teperman Wrecking Inc.; Steven Teperman for Teperman and Sons Inc. and Teperman and Sons (Canada) Limited.
DECISION OF THE BOARD; March 30, 2000
When the hearing in this matter adjourned on Wednesday afternoon, March 29, 2000, counsel for the applicant advised the Board that she had arranged to have Ron Kepic attend the next scheduled hearing of this matter on April 6, 2000 by having had Nelson Melo personally serve Mr. Kepic with a summons to witness and conduct money. The summons to witness had required Mr. Kepic to attend before the Board on an earlier date, but counsel advised the witness that he would not be reached on that day. Counsel moves for an order directing Ron Kepic to attend as a witness on April 6, 2000, since he has already been personally served with a summons to witness and the necessary conduct money.
Having regard to the submissions of counsel for the applicant, the Board is satisfied that Ron Kepic was personally served with a summons to witness compelling his attendance before the Board in this matter together with the requisite amount of conduct money. Therefore, the Board directs Ron Kepic attend to give evidence before the Board in this proceeding on April 6, 2000 at the Board’s hearing room, 505 University Ave., 2nd Floor, Toronto, at 9:30 a.m. local time. It is up to the applicant to ensure that Mr. Kepic is provided with a copy of this decision and is made aware of his obligation to attend before the Board on that date.
The hearings in this matter will continue before the Board on April 6, August 14 and 15 and November 29 and 30, 2000.

for the Board
