  • Facts: Michelle Ferguson sought judicial review against the Labour Relations Board's decision, which denied reconsideration of her complaint's dismissal regarding union representation after employment termination.
  • Issue: The review focused on whether the Board's Reconsideration Decision was patently unreasonable and if Ferguson was denied procedural fairness.
