Abstract

The parties agreed that the Halifax Regional School Board would be used as an example in this arbitration and that my award would determine the obligations of all school boards in Nova Scotia. My award was dated June 10, 1999. The Minister unsuccessfully sought judicial review in the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia Trial Division and the Appeal Division. After considering the judgement of the Appeal Division, rendered in May 2000 the parties appeared before me, on July 11, 2000, to deal with issues arising in the application of the Award. They subsequently submitted written materials.
