Decision A-1028.91 Full Text of Decision A-1028.91

summary
Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
board of referees legislative authority contract and labour agreement
Summary:

We are all of the opinion that the Umpire was correct to decide that the Board had erred in law by interpreting a clear clause in the collective agreement governing the claimants in a manner which contradicted its text. Effectively, while the parties are free, as far as they are both concerned, to interpret their agreement the way they mutually agree, they do not enjoy the same freedom when their interpretation affects the rights of third parties.
