The Court
of Appeal rejected the claim that the School Board could not enter into without
prejudice discussions before mediation was attempted. Disputes should be resolved at the lowest
level possible and negotiations before mediation are appropriate.
The Court
held that the school’s offer to accept a resignation was not blackmail or a
threat, and did not justify removing the protection of without prejudice
discussions that the teacher had agreed to his lawyer participating in.
