Judicial review
Disputes in the area of employment and labour law are often adjudicated by administrative tribunals whose decisions are not subject to appeal. The only option available to an employer or the opposing party (employee or union) wishing to have such a decision revisited is to seek a judicial review of the matter before the superior courts. Applications of this kind require advanced expertise and in-depth knowledge of the applicable principles so that arguments can be mounted that are likely to convince a court of the validity of the employer’s position.
Our lawyers possess this expertise and are regularly called upon to argue the merits of such applications before the superior courts, including the appellate courts and the Supreme Court of Canada.
