A new WSIAT Guide to Adding a Related Issue to an Appeal is now available. The new Guide explains:
- what a related issue is
- that the Workplace Safety and Insurance Appeals Tribunal (WSIAT) tries to hear related issues together
- how to ask to add a related issue to an appeal
- what factors the WSIAT will consider in deciding whether to add a related issue to an appeal
- what may lead to an adjournment in asking to add a related issue to an appeal
- the need for a final Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) decision on the related issue
The Guide should be read together with the WSIAT’s Practice Directions.
If you have any questions about the new Guide, please contact our Call Centre at 416-314-8800 or 1-888-618-8846 (toll-free within Ontario).
