Decision
[1] This matter is a grievance filed by the Union on behalf of Andre Benjamin. Mr.
Benjamin was disciplined, in part, as a result of an incident that occurred in a.
court room, near or at the court lunch recess, on November 9, 2018. There is a
dispute between the parties as to what transpired in the court room on that date
and time. The court recording is arguably relevant to this dispute.
[2] Accordingly, I hereby order the Employer to forthwith produce to the Union the
court recording from R v Project Lincoln, in the Ontario Court of Justice, K
Court, before Justice L. Favret on November 9, 2018 from 1:06 pm to
approximately 1:30 pm.
[3] This matter Is scheduled to continue on October 30, 2020.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 21st day of October, 2020.
“Diane Gee”
