HEARING July 12, 2018
Decision
[1] The trade union seeks an order that the Office of the Chief Coroner (the
“Coroner”) produce certain documents that pertain to a fire at Place Mont Roc which
resulted in two fatalities.
[2] While reserving its right to object to the relevance and admissibility of any such
documents, the employer did not oppose their production.
[3] For its part, counsel for the Coroner indicated that it would produce the
documents requested should the Board so order. Neither did it object to the issuance of
such an order.
[4] Having regard to the submissions and positions of the parties, I directed, orally,
at the hearing, that the Coroner produce its investigation statements with respect to the
two individuals who perished as a result of the fire.
[5] My order of production is subject to the usual conditions. The documents
produced are to be treated as confidential and are not to be distributed beyond counsel
and their instructing clients (including the grievor). Further, these documents are to be
used exclusively for the purpose of the instant proceeding and for no other purpose.
[6] I shall remain seized should there be any issues relating the production herein
directed.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 16th day of July, 2018.
“Bram Herlich”
Bram Herlich, Arbitrator
