2756-00-U Emmanuel Abegunrin, Applicant v. CUPE Local One and Victor Demelo, Linvor McKoy, Bruno Silano, Responding Parties.
BEFORE: Russell Goodfellow, Vice-Chair.
DECISION OF THE BOARD; December 28, 2000
The Board is in receipt of a letter dated December 22, 2000, from counsel for the Canadian Union of Public Employees, Local 1.
Counsel indicates that he has obtained the consent of the applicant for an extension of time to file a response. Counsel indicates, however, that the form of the complaint is “highly irregular”. Counsel suggests that his client is not named as a responding party and that “the Applicant has deliberately altered the form to indicate that his complaint is against the Employer”. Counsel acknowledges, however, that “the Board may have received a complaint naming the Union as a Responding party, but the Union has not been served with any such document”.
Attached to this decision is the application received by the Board. Its form appears to be regular. Moreover, the Certificate of Delivery indicates that it was delivered to counsel’s client.
Accordingly, the responding party will be required to file a response, but the time for filing that response shall be extended to January 17, 2001.
“Russell Goodfellow”
for the Board
