Decision
[1] This matter involves a number of grievances filed on behalf of Ms. H. Elder, a
nurse at a correctional facility. One of the grievances challenges a three day
suspension. The last hearing date was on May 4, 2018, and the next hearing date is
scheduled to take place on May 29, 2018.
[2] During a conference call held on May 18, 2018, I reviewed with counsel the
likelihood of the parties being able complete undertakings relating to the provision of
particulars given on the last hearing day. It now appears that it was unrealistic to expect
that the undertakings would be completed by May 29, 2018. Accordingly, over the
Union’s objection, I determined that the hearing date of May 29, 2018, will be adjourned
to ensure that the provision of particulars can occur in a timely fashion. An effort to
schedule a replacement date before June 18, 2018, was unsuccessful.
[3] The hearing of this matter will continue as scheduled on June 18, 2018.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 22nd day of May 2018.
