Court backs city’s ban on contractor found lax in wake of pedestrian’s death

Greater Sudbury was within its right when it barred Interpaving from bidding on city contracts, says a decision handed down by appeals judges in Ontario’s Superior Court of Justice.

Two of the three judges hearing the case supported the ban.

The decision centered on the city’s ban on Interpaving imposed in March 2016 for four years, in the wake of a women’s death in September 2015 at an Elgin Street job site.

In March of this year, Interpaving was fined $195,000 under the Occupational Health and Safety Act in connection with the fatality and was also found guilty of failing to provide a signaller at the site.

The city is also facing charges, and a decision in that case is expected August 31st.
