REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE COURT
(Delivered from the bench at Québec on Tuesday, May 26, 1998)
DESJARDINS J.A.
[1] We do not see how we could interfere with this decision of the Tax Court of Canada, which dismissed the applicant"s appeal from the decision of the Minister of National Revenue that the applicant was not employed in insurable employment under paragraphs 3(1)(a ) and 3(2)(d) of the Unemployment Insurance Act.1
[2] The Judge of the Tax Court of Canada properly instructed himself on the law and made no error with respect to the applicable principles.
[3] His finding that there was no relationship of subordination between the applicant and the payer was supported by the evidence as a whole. What matters in the case at bar is not isolated facts but rather the overall impression which the evidence left in the Judge"s mind.
[4] The application for judicial review will therefore be dismissed.
