  • Facts: Jamie Lawrence sought compensation for a mental disorder, claiming it resulted from workplace bullying and harassment at the City of Nelson. The claim was rejected by the Workers' Compensation Appeal Tribunal (WCAT).

  • Issue: The core issue was whether WCAT's rejection of Lawrence's claim was unjustifiably unreasonable, involving concerns about procedural fairness and bias.

  • Court's Ruling: The Supreme Court of British Columbia dismissed Lawrence's petition, affirming WCAT's decision as reasonable and finding no procedural or bias issues.

  • Costs/Damages: The summary does not specify costs or damages awarded, indicating the focus was on the legal correctness of WCAT's decision rather than financial restitution.
