What is the WSIB's position on the doctrine of judicial immunity?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Frankson v. Workplace Safety and Insurance Board, 2011 HRTO 2107 (CanLII):
An alternative theory put forward by the WSIB rests on the principle of judicial immunity. As discussed in Cartier v. Nairn, 2009 HRTO 2208, [t]he doctrine of judicial immunity prohibits legal proceedings against judicial actors which are based on their actions as adjudicators or decision-makers. The doctrine is rooted in the principle of judicial independence, the purpose of which is to ensure that judicial actors are free to execute their decision-making duties with independence and without fear of consequences.
