Motions to compel answers to discovery refusals and non-party production of an adjuster's file granted in part.
The defendant brought two motions in an action arising from a fire that damaged equipment at a mining project.
The first motion sought to compel the third party insurance broker to answer refusals from examinations for discovery.
The second motion sought to compel a non-party independent adjuster to produce its complete file and attend an examination.
The court ordered the insurance broker to answer most of the refusals, finding them relevant to the allegations regarding the review of insurance coverages.
Regarding the non-party production, the court found that the adjuster's file contained relevant documents but ordered a staged approach to production to balance the interests of the non-party.
The motion to examine the adjuster was adjourned pending the resolution of documentary production.
Union certified for craft bargaining unit of theatrical wardrobe mistresses and attendants at Stratford Festival.
The applicant union applied for certification for a bargaining unit of theatrical wardrobe mistresses and attendants employed by the respondent at its Stratford theatres.
The Board first determined that the applicant was a trade union within the meaning of the Labour Relations Act, noting that it had adopted a constitution, elected officers, and admitted members.
The Board then considered whether the proposed unit was an appropriate craft bargaining unit under section 6(3) of the Act.
Finding that the wardrobe staff exercised distinct technical skills, commonly bargained separately in the entertainment industry, and that the applicant pertained to such skills, the Board deemed the craft unit appropriate.
As more than fifty-five percent of the employees in the unit were members of the applicant, the Board ordered that a certificate issue.
