LBM Construction Specialties Inc. v. Ontario Labour Relations Board, 2016 ONSC 1927

The applicant sought judicial review of an Ontario Labour Relations Board decision certifying the respondent union and refusing reconsideration.

The applicant argued it was denied procedural fairness because the Board failed to contact it by telephone, and that the Board's finding regarding delivery of the certification application was unreasonable.

The Divisional Court dismissed the application, finding the procedural fairness argument was not raised before the Board and the Board's decision on delivery was reasonable based on the evidence.

Costs of $5,000 were awarded to the respondent union.

Metropolitan Toronto Apartment Builders Assn. v. Labourers’ International Union of North America, 2014 ONSC 5775

The applicants sought judicial review of an interest arbitrator's interim award regarding the renewal of collective agreements.

The arbitrator concluded he had jurisdiction to interpret the Competition Act but exercised his discretion to defer those issues to the Competition Tribunal or the courts.

The Divisional Court held that the arbitrator's exercise of discretion was subject to a reasonableness standard of review.

The Court found the arbitrator's decision to defer was reasonable given the Competition Tribunal's specialized expertise, the potential ramifications beyond the parties, and the expedited nature of the interest arbitration process.

The application for judicial review was dismissed.

Sysco Food Services of Ontario v. The National Automobile, Aerospace, Transportation and General Workers Union of Canada (CAW-Canada), Local 414, 2003 ONSCDC 16931

The applicant employer sought judicial review of an arbitrator's decision dismissing its policy grievance.

The grievance alleged that the respondent union violated the collective agreement by maintaining that bargaining unit employees were not required to work on paid holidays without their consent.

The Divisional Court found that the arbitrator's interpretation of the collective agreement was supported by the contractual language.

Although the arbitrator erred in referencing the 'no contracting out' provision of the Employment Standards Act, 2000, the court concluded that this was not the basis for his decision and upheld his findings as reasonable.

The application for judicial review was dismissed.
