The appeal from the judgment of the Court of Appeal of Manitoba, Number AI 10-30-07355, 2012 MBCA 13, dated February 10, 2012, heard on May 16, 2013, is allowed with costs throughout, including those for the application for leave to appeal in this Court, on a solicitor-and-client basis, to be paid out of the New Plan trust fund. The trial judge’s order requiring MTS to make the amount of the Initial Surplus plus interest at the New Plan rate of return available to the plan members to be used to pay for enhancements to their pension benefits is reinstated. The trial judge’s remedial order to negotiate is also reinstated, and the matter shall be remanded to the trial judge should the parties prove unable to reach an agreement.
L’appel interjeté contre l’arrêt de la Cour d’appel du Manitoba, numéro AI 10-30-07355, 2012 MBCA 13, en date du 10 février 2012, entendu le 16 mai 2013, est accueilli avec dépens devant toutes les cours, y compris ceux relatifs à la demande d’autorisation d’appel devant la Cour, sur la base procureur-client, prélevés sur la caisse fiduciaire du nouveau régime. Le jugement de première instance qui ordonne à MTS de mettre à la disposition des participants le surplus initial majoré de l’intérêt couru au taux de rendement du nouveau régime, en vue de la bonification de leurs prestations de retraite, est rétabli. L’ordonnance de réparation du juge de première instance qui enjoint aux parties de négocier est rétablie, et l’affaire lui sera renvoyée si les parties n’arrivent pas à s’entendre.
