Appeal from a consensual labour arbitration award concerning the proper method of calculating a six per cent wage increase under a collective agreement for salaried and hourly paid nurses employed by a hospital.
The appellants argued the board committed a reviewable error of law in construing the agreement.
The court held that in consensual arbitration the award may be set aside only where it adopts an interpretation that the words of the agreement could not reasonably bear.
Because the agreement was susceptible of two reasonable interpretations, the board's choice was not reviewable and the appeal was dismissed with costs.
