PEHT Case No: 2277-14-PE
Community Living Guelph Wellington, Applicant v Canadian Union of Public Employees, Local 4392, Respondent
BEFORE: Mary Anne McKellar, Chair
DECISION OF THE TRIBUNAL: January 5, 2015
Case No. 1069-14-PE is the referral to the Tribunal for enforcement of a Review Officer’s Order issued under the Pay Equity Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. P.7, as amended (“the Act”).
Case No. 2277-14-PE is an application objecting to the same Order.
Section 4.2(1) of the Statutory Powers Procedure Act permits a panel of one to issue this decision.
In accordance with the Tribunal’s usual practice, Case No. 1069-14-PE shall be held in abeyance pending the disposition of Case File No. 2277-14-PE. The balance of this decision relates to the latter application.
The respondent trade union (“the Union”) seeks to have the Tribunal dismiss this application on a prima facie basis, and it seeks to have the Tribunal determine that the “interested parties” that the applicant has identified in the application (and who appear on Appendix A to the Registrar’s cover letter for this decision) have no legal interest at all in this proceeding and should be denied intervenor status and removed from the title of the proceeding.
The applicant has indicated an intention to file a reply in this matter, and the Union has consented to its request for an extension of time until January 9, 2015 in which to do so. At the same time as it files its reply, the applicant is directed to also file written submissions addressing the two preliminary matters raised by the Union and identified in the preceding paragraph of this decision. Given the applicant may not have anticipated addressing these issues at this point, the time for filing the reply and the submissions is extended until January 19, 2015.
Any of the entities identified as interested parties that wish to address the issue of their standing in this matter may file written submissions on that issue with the Registrar (copying the applicant, the Union and all other entities identified as interested parties) by no later than January 19, 2015.
Should the Union wish to do so, it may respond to the written submissions filed by the applicant or by any entity identified as an interested party by January 26, 2015.
These matters are referred to the Registrar to assign to a panel for review after January 26, 2015.
I am not seized.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 5th day of January, 2015.
“Mary Anne McKellar”
Chair
