DECISION OF THE TRIBUNAL, MARCH 19, 2002
The Tribunal issued its final decision in these applications on December 17, 2001 (“the Decision”).
By letter dated March 7, 2002, the Applicants in Tribunal Files Nos. 0626-97, 0631-97, 0632-97 and 0633-97, and the Respondent in Tribunal File No. 0655-97 (collectively the “Moving Parties”), all requested that the Tribunal reconsider the Decision. The final paragraph of the letter requesting reconsideration reads:
This request for reconsideration addresses only the issues arising from the amendment to the Appendix to the Schedule to the Pay Equity Act, and the Applicants respectfully request that the Tribunal first decide this preliminary issue. The Applicants request the right to reserve making further submissions for the Tribunal’s reconsideration with respect to any other errors of law. Should the Tribunal oppose proceeding in this manner, kindly advise the undersigned and the Applicants will submit a revised submission.
- In the Tribunal’s view, it would be more appropriate to deal with all the grounds on which reconsideration is requested at one time. The Moving Parties are directed to deliver and file a revised request for reconsideration and supporting submissions, specifying all of the bases on which reconsideration is sought. Those materials are to be delivered and filed by no later than March 31, 2002. The Tribunal will review those materials upon their receipt, and will determine at that time if it is necessary to seek responding submissions from the trade unions.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario, this 19th day of March, 2002.
