Can a tribunal accept an agreement between the parties as to part or all of the issues it has to decide?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Re Toronto Area Transit and Thomson Lumber, 1984 CanLII 3016 (ON SCDC):
I think also that unless expressly prohibited by statute a tribunal has the right to accept an agreement between the parties as to part, or some, or all of the issues which it has to decide. In our opinion, The King v. Hooper, 1942 CanLII 286 (FC), [1943] 1 D.L.R. 279, [1942] Ex. C.R. 193, 55 C.R.T.C. 303, is distinguished on its facts but in any event we would not be prepared to follow it.
