Appellant
Respondent
Background: Lucy Chestacow, a resident care attendant, injured her knee at work in 2015. She claimed verbal, physical, and sexual harassment during a work meeting on February 23, 2016. Her compensation claim for mental and physical injuries was denied by the Workers' Compensation Board and subsequently by WCAT.
Legal Proceedings: Chestacow filed a judicial review petition challenging the WCAT decision as unreasonable and procedurally unfair, alleging bias and bad faith. She requested WCAT to produce various documents under R. 7-1 of the Supreme Court Civil Rules, which the chambers judge denied, considering the request speculative and a "fishing expedition."
Issues on Appeal:
Court of Appeal Findings:
Decision: The appeal was dismissed, upholding the chambers judge's decision denying document production. No Costs/Monetary award specified.
