Jeff Novosel v. National Steel Car Limited
1392-00-OH Jeff Novosel, Applicant v. National Steel Car Limited, Responding Party.
BEFORE: Anthony Brown, Vice-Chair.
DECISION OF THE BOARD; November 15, 2000
1By letter dated October 19, 2000, the applicant seeks to amend his application by pleading new allegations of reprisal by the responding party employer. The responding party objects to the addition of these new particulars because they occurred approximately three months after the events upon which the reprisal application is brought and have no causal connection to the original complaint. The responding party also disputes the accuracy of some of the new allegations.
2The Board has decided to permit the applicant to amend his application. It does not appear that the responding party is seriously prejudiced by having to respond to the new allegations. However, the issue of whether the amendments are material or relevant to the application remains for the Board to decide at the hearing if necessary.
3This panel of the Board is not seized with this matter.
“Anthony Brown”
for the Board
