Affaire Piro: La Cour d'appel encadre et précise le rôle de l'autorisation
There are no translations available

Par Chantal Chatelain

Les modifications apportées en janvier 2003 à l’article 1002 du Code de procédure civile (C.p.c.) ne portent pas atteinte au droit du défendeur à une défense pleine et entière. En effet, la Cour d’appel nous rappelle qu’on ne doit pas confondre la nature et l’objet de la requête en autorisation du recours collectif et ceux de l’action proprement dite. Le fait que le requérant n’ait pas à prouver les faits sur lesquels il se base pour demander l’autorisation d’exercer un recours collectif n’empêche pas le juge de vérifier si les conditions énumérées à l’article 1003 du C.p.c. sont remplies ou non.

Temporary employees usually cannot grieve a dismissal

By René Paquette

The Parry Sound decision rendered by the Supreme Court in 2003 appeared to have substantially broadened the jurisdiction of grievance arbitrators. Some contended that it went so far as to allow arbitrators to hear the grievances of temporary employees contesting a dismissal, even if the collective agreement did not give them the right to file a grievance. The Court of Appeal confirmed that employees with less than two years of uninterrupted service do not have this right, but it is expected to rule shortly regarding the situation of employees with more than two years of service.
