INTERIM DECISION
[1] The Grievance of Ms. Alecia Dookhan, a Client Service Representative with the
Ministry of the Attorney General was before me at proceedings on November 29,
2021.
[2] The Grievance, although yet to be fully particularized, relates to allegations of
harassment and bullying, amongst other things in the workplace.
[3] Having heard some preliminary information from both Counsel, I was satisfied
that there has yet to be a proper crystallization of issues to be determined.
[4] In the circumstances, after discussions with Counsel, I have determined it
appropriate to issue the following Order:
April 1, 2022 – At or before that date, the Union will provide to the Employer:
a. A statement of the particulars of the allegations and claims;
b. A list of any productions sought from the Employer;
c. Any productions it seeks to rely upon;
d. The nature of any remedies sought
April 29, 2022 – At or before that date, the Employer will provide to the Union:
a. A reply to the particulars;
b. The productions sought by the Union if not challenged;
c. Any challenges to the productions sought;
d. Any productions it seeks to rely upon;
e. Any Preliminary objections, issues or motions it seeks to pursue and
the nature of those matters;
[5] Those exchanges shall take place within the time frames described above.
[6] In the meantime, arrangements will be made through the GSB Registrar to
schedule a continuation of this matter as near as practicable to the middle of
2022.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 30th day of November 2021.
“Joseph D. Carrier”
