The applicant employer sought judicial review of an interest arbitration award that set the wage rates for its registered nurses based on a hospital comparator rather than a nursing home comparator.
The employer argued the arbitration board's reasons failed to meet the Dunsmuir standard of justification, transparency, and intelligibility.
The Divisional Court dismissed the application, finding that in the context of an expeditious interest arbitration where the comparator issue was central and heavily litigated, the board's brief reasons adequately explained the basis for its decision.
