Summary
Case summaries are prepared by the Office of the Registrar of the Supreme Court of Canada (Law Branch). Please note that summaries are not provided to the Judges of the Court. They are placed on the Court file and website for information purposes only.
Since the merger of Air Canada and Canadian Airlines in 2000, two committees within the Air Canada bargaining unit have been attempting to resolve the highly contentious issue of the integration of pilot seniority lists. Pursuant to an arbitration protocol signed by the parties, the issue was decided by the arbitration panel. The protocol indicated that the decision was to be final and binding and that any review of the award was to be initiated by the Board. The Applicant requested that the Board review the award.
The Board decided that the arbitration protocol was binding and excluded any review of the award except to enforce its terms. The Federal Court of Appeal dismissed the Applicant’s application for judicial review.
The Applicant asks whether it had a legitimate expectation that the Board would conduct a review of the award.
