Summaries of Important
OWA Cases
Now Available We are pleased to announce a new feature on the
OWA Website. We have selected and posted summaries
of important Workplace Safety and Insurance Appeals Tribunal (WSIAT)
decisions where the OWA represented the worker.
The summaries are sorted by topic and provide links to the full
text decisions on the WSIAT Website.
The decisions we have chosen are just a fraction of the thousands
of appeals that the OWA has been involved with since it was created
in 1985. Nevertheless, they highlight some of the many significant
issues that the OWA routinely deals with. They also illustrate the
contribution that the organization and its staff have made on behalf
of injured workers in this province.
We encourage you to read the decision summaries. We hope they will
help you understand the work of the OWA and our role in the workplace
insurance system (formerly called workers' compensation) in Ontario.
Please note these decision summaries are not intended to be used
for legal research. For complete up-to-date case law, please refer
to the WSIAT Reporter and the WSIAT decision database found on the
WSIAT Website.
