Law360 Canada quotes Toronto Lawyer Christopher Pigott and mentions Grace McDonell in an article on a vaccine-policy-related class action.
The decision reinforces the exclusive jurisdiction of arbitrators over unionized employees’ challenges to workplace policies, even where those cases involve constitutional issues and novel legal arguments, said Christopher Pigott of Fasken Martineau Dumoulin LLP, counsel for Canada Post.
“The decision also signals that courts are holding plaintiffs to an increasingly high bar when it comes to the level of detail in their statement of claim,” he told Law360 Canada. “The Federal Court will not permit a case to proceed in the absence of a clear pleading that sets out enough facts to support a claim.”
Grace McDonell of Fasken Martineau Dumoulin LLP also acted as counsel for Canada Post.
