2004

Application for judicial review of Decision 2003 CAPPRT 041 dismissed

The Federal Court of Appeal hearing was held on May 18 and 19, 2004 in Montreal. The Attorney General argued that the Tribunal had erred in including certain professional categories in the bargaining sector for which the federation composed of the Association des professionnelles et des professionnels de la vidéo du Québec and the Syndicat des techniciens du cinéma et de la vidéo du Québec was certified. The Court determined that the Tribunal had not exceeded its jurisdiction and dismissed the application.
