Can an Employment Standards Officer be found to be unqualified, unqualified or unqualified to be an employment standards officer?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Ferrare v. Kingston Interval House,, 2002 CanLII 49504 (ON SC):
The applicants rely mainly on the case of Danyluk v. Ainsworth[1], a case which deals with the Employment Standards Act and the applicants argue by analogy that its findings can be applied to the case at bar. In Danyluk, the Employment Standards Officer made a decision. This was a person untrained in the law and ill-equipped to decide complex issues of law. I find that it cannot be said that the case is in any way similar to the case at bar.
