Corporation of the City of Windsor v. Shirley D. Moor, 2016 CanLII 43292

Pay Equity Hearings Tribunal

PEHT Case No: 0493-15-PE

Corporation of the City of Windsor, Applicant v Shirley D. Moor, and Canadian Union of Public Employees, Local 543, Respondents

BEFORE: Roslyn McGilvery, Vice-Chair

DECISION OF THE TRIBUNAL: June 27, 2016

Decision

1This is an application filed pursuant to section 24(6) of the Pay Equity Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.P.7, as amended (“the Act”). This matter is scheduled for hearing on July 12, 2016 and July 13, 2016.

2By decision dated June 20, 2016, the Tribunal noted, among other things, that the applicant had not filed any preliminary motions as contemplated in a previously held case management hearing. The applicant has now filed correspondence advising that for some reason it did not believe it had to file its written submissions with the Tribunal. It only delivered its written submission to the other parties in this matter. It has now filed preliminary submissions that it apparently delivered to the other parties in April 2016 and has advised that it has in fact received written submissions from the responding party employee, Shirley D. Moor, who also failed to file her submissions with the Tribunal.

3Ms. Moor is directed to file her written submissions with the Tribunal forthwith but no later than June 28, 2016. It is the Tribunal’s intention to determine this preliminary matter in advance of the July 12, 2016 hearing date. If Ms. Moor fails to file her submission by that time, the Tribunal will determine the preliminary matter based on the applicant’s submissions only.

4It should go without saying that the Tribunal expects each party to file its submissions with the Tribunal in addition to delivering them to the other parties in this matter.
