The applicant union sought judicial review of a grievance arbitration award that denied meal expense reimbursements for employees commuting daily to temporary work headquarters.
The applicant argued the arbitrator breached procedural fairness by adopting an interpretation of the collective agreement not advanced by either party, and that the decision was unreasonable.
The Divisional Court dismissed the application, finding that the arbitrator's interpretation was within the range of reasonable outcomes and that an arbitrator is not bound to choose only between the interpretations advanced by the parties.
