Labour relations – Civil procedure – Union – Preliminary exceptions to dismiss – Claim for damages dismissed – Abuse of process – Commission des relations du travail – Whether Court of Appeal erred in denying leave to appeal out of time – Whether application for leave to appeal raises questions of public importance.

A complaint was filed late with the Commission des relations du travail (Commission) by Krassimir Naydenov, who alleged that the Syndicat du personnel professionnel de l’Université du Québec en Abitibi Témiscamingue had breached its duty of representation by ignoring a complaint he had allegedly made. The Syndicat brought a motion to dismiss. The Commission dismissed Mr. Naydenov’s complaint. The Superior Court held that Mr. Naydenov’s claim was unfounded. The Court of Appeal denied leave to appeal.
