REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE COURT

(Delivered from the Bench at Winnipeg, Manitoba, on February 23, 2011)

SEXTON J.A.

[1]               We are unable to conclude that the arbitrator or the motion judge erred in concluding that the applicant had failed to demonstrate that there had been a discontinuance of a function within the meaning of section 242(3.1) of the Canada Labour Code, R.S.C. 1985, c. L-2, as amended.


[2]               The appeal will therefore be dismissed and the matter will be returned to the adjudicator for hearing on the issue of unjust dismissal and damages.  In view of the very late filing of the memorandum of fact and law by the respondent, there will be no order as to costs.
