Noura Ahmed v Troy Powell, Peggy Pulliam, Jese Stovka
Ontario LRB · Jun 9, 2025
What happened in this matter?
The Ontario Labour Relations Board denied a pro se applicant's request for reconsideration of a dismissal order. The Board found the applicant failed to meet the stringent criteria for reconsideration, noting that the applicant cited a non-existent legal decision and attempted to introduce evidence and arguments that could have been raised during the initial proceedings.
- Why the court cared
- The Board reasoned that reconsideration is an extraordinary remedy requiring new, previously unavailable evidence or obvious errors. It determined the applicant's cited case did not exist, and that the applicant's other submissions were either previously rejected, could have been raised earlier, or failed to substantiate an inability to file the application in a timely manner.
- Why it matters now
- Self-represented applicant cited non-existent LRB decision; board simply disregarded it without sanction.
Why this matter is tracked
In a reconsideration application before the Ontario Labour Relations Board, the applicant sought to overturn a prior dismissal of their workplace harassment and reprisal claim. The Board denied the request, finding that the applicant failed to meet the stringent test for reconsideration. The applicant raised new arguments and evidence that could have been presented earlier, and failed to provide compelling reasons to deviate from the finality of the original decision. Notably, the applicant cited a case, McDonald v CAAT Academic Union, 2013 CanLII 76296 (ON LRB), which the Board explicitly noted does not appear to exist. The Board dismissed the reconsideration request, maintaining the original dismissal for delay.
