Decisions

This section provides access to the decisions of the PSLRB and the PSSRB. Recent decisions are presented in the order in which they are received. You can also find specific decisions by selecting the search option from the sidebar. You can access a list of decisions, by year and in chronological order, rendered by the PSLRB and the PSSRB by selecting Decisions by year.

In accordance with the requirements of the Official Languages Act, the PSLRB posts all its documents, including decisions, simultaneously in both official languages on this website. Therefore, you can expect a reasonable delay from the time the decision is released to parties to the time the decision is posted on this site. Should you require access to a decision of the PSLRB in its original language, click on the Full Text button found on the summary page.

Open Courts Principle

As a quasi-judicial tribunal operating in a court-like fashion, the PSLRB is bound by the constitutionally protected open-court principle. This principle guarantees the public’s right to know how justice is administered and to have access to decisions rendered by administrative tribunals. For that reason, the PSLRB posts the full texts of its decisions on its website in keeping with the statement of the Heads of Federal Administrative Tribunals Forum on the use of personal information in decisions of administrative tribunals and the posting of decisions on the websites of administrative tribunals.

Your right to privacy

In an effort to establish a fair balance between public access to its decisions and the individual’s right to privacy, the PSLRB has taken measures to prevent Internet searching of full-text versions of decisions posted on its website. This was done by applying instructions using the “web robot exclusion protocol,” which is recognized by Internet search engines (e.g., Google and Yahoo).

The only decision-related information on the PSLRB website that is indexed by Internet search engines is found in decision summaries and the texts of the PSLRB’s annual reports. As a result, an Internet search of a person’s full name mentioned in a decision will not find any information from the full-text versions of decisions posted on the PSLRB website.

We cannot guarantee that the technological measures taken will always be respected or free of mistakes or malfunctions. Please address your questions to the webmaster at webmaster-webmestre@pslrb.gc.ca.
