The applicant municipality sought judicial review of a Workplace Safety and Insurance Appeals Tribunal (WSIAT) decision granting workers' compensation benefits to an off-duty paramedic.

The paramedic injured his bicep while assisting on-duty paramedics with a medical emergency at a music festival.

The Divisional Court dismissed the application, finding that WSIAT reasonably applied the 'place, time and activity' criteria from the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board's policy to conclude the injury occurred in the course of employment.

The applicant, a paramedic, sought judicial review of a Medical Director's decision to decertify her following complaints about patient care.

The Divisional Court found it had jurisdiction to review the decision because the Medical Director was exercising a statutory power and performing a public function.

However, the court dismissed the application, concluding that the applicant was afforded procedural fairness, the decision was reasonable and supported by evidence, and there was no reasonable apprehension of bias.
