What are the grounds for reconsideration in a workers’s reconsideration application?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from WCAT-2013-01302 (Re), 2013 CanLII 35748 (BC WCAT):
As established by Phillips v. British Columbia (Workers’ Compensation Appeal Tribunal), 2012 BCCA 304, issued on July 17, 2012 (before the completion of submissions in the worker’s reconsideration application), a tribunal’s failure to give adequate reasons does not provide an independent or free-standing ground for judicial review. (I add that because it does not provide a ground for judicial review, it does not provide a ground for reconsideration.)
