labour arbitration tribunal

By Stringer LLP | 3 Minutes Read November 6, 2012

The Human Rights Tribunal says “no” to forum shopping

It has been a year since the Supreme Court of Canada’s decision in British Columbia (Workers' Compensation Board) v. Figliola ("Figliola"). In Figliola, the Supreme Court stated that human rights complaints should not be relitigated before a human rights tribunal when they have already been litigated before another tribunal, such as the workers’ compensation board ("WSIB"), or a labour arbitration tribunal.
