Board declines to inquire into reprisal complaint after finding parties reached a binding oral settlement.
The applicant filed a reprisal complaint under section 50 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act.
The responding parties brought a preliminary motion to dismiss the complaint, arguing that the parties had reached a binding oral settlement during a meeting with a Board Officer.
The applicant argued that the settlement was only tentative and that his former counsel lacked authority to bind him without his final approval of the written documents.
The Board found that a final oral settlement had been reached and that the applicant's former counsel had ostensible authority to bind him.
The Board exercised its discretion not to inquire further into the complaint.
