ISSUES:
In the four years since the Supreme Court of Canada released its revolutionary decision in Parry Sound, arbitrators have developed a vast and specialized jurisprudence dealing with remedies for human rights violations in the workplace. In this advanced session, Lancaster's panel of experts will identify and analyze trends and principles emerging in the arbitral case-law in this rapidly changing area. Topics will include:
- Damages for human rights violations at arbitration: What do the latest decisions say? When, if ever, will arbitrators award aggravated and punitive damages? Can, and should, arbitrators award damages for injury to dignity and self esteem? Wage loss? Legal costs? Non-economic losses? Damages in tort?
- Remedies affecting third parties: When can arbitrators and human rights tribunals award remedies that affect non-parties? Can arbitrators order employers to discipline or remove human rights violators from the workplace?
- Interim, conditional, and systemic remedies: What jurisdiction do arbitrators have? What rules govern the award of systemic remedies such as sensitivity training, monitoring, and policy revision? Can arbitrators award remedies that amend the collective agreement? Is interim reinstatement or compensation available in human rights cases?
- Reinstatement in discharge arbitrations: When, if ever, will a breach of the duty to accommodate or other human rights obligations persuade arbitrators to reinstate a dismissed employee?
