. United Association of Canada v. Labourers' International Union of North America, Local 1059 [s.116 privative]
In United Association of Canada v. Labourers' International Union of North America, Local 1059 (Ont Div Ct, 2026) the Ontario Divisional Court dismissed a labour JR, this brought against "two decisions (the “Decisions”) of the Ontario Labour Relations Board (the “Board”) dealing with a jurisdictional dispute between two unions. The Board determined that the installation of a new water-based fire suppression system which had been assigned to UA by Troy Life & Fire Safety Ltd. (“Troy”) was within the jurisdiction of the Labourers (“LIUNA”)."
Here the court considers the privative provision of LRA s.116:
[18] Section 116 of the Labour Relations Act provides that orders of the Board are not subject to judicial review. Nevertheless, this court has jurisdiction to hear the application pursuant to ss. 2 and 6 of the Judicial Review Procedure Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. J.1.
