Peel Courthouse Delays

Today's unreported decision by Hill J. regarding "An inquiry into delays in the delivery of prisoners to the Peel courthouse" deals in detail with the illegal work to rule campaign of correctional officers at Maplehurst and Vanier.

The decision makes clear the work to rule campaign was illegal and led to a violation of the constitutional rights of prisoners. The decision, which will likely be reported within a few days, is worth close reading.

While the Court held it had the power to make injunctive rulings and deal with a prima facie criminal contempt, the Court declined so to order because the OLRB had already ordered the strike to cease.
