The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) applied for judicial review of a Grievance Procedure Arbitrator's (GPA) decision ordering the disclosure of a redacted workplace harassment investigation report to the union's Local Grievance Committee.
The CBC argued the GPA's decision was not reviewable, that the GPA lacked jurisdiction, and that the CBC was denied procedural fairness.
The Divisional Court held that the GPA's decision was reviewable because the GPA exercised a statutory power of decision under the Canada Labour Code.
The Court found the disclosure order was reasonable and within the GPA's broad jurisdiction to resolve disputes over the exchange of relevant information.
The Court also dismissed the procedural fairness arguments, finding the CBC had ample opportunity to make submissions.
The application for judicial review was dismissed.
