BETWEEN:


GRACE CHISHOLM

     Applicant


- and -


THE BANK OF NOVA SCOTIA

     Respondent

     REASONS FOR ORDER

     (Delivered orally from the Bench at Toronto, Ontario

     Tuesday, March 24, 1998)

McGILLIS, J.:

[1]      Despite the able argument of counsel for the applicant, I have not been persuaded that the factual findings and inferences made by the adjudicator were patently unreasonable on the basis of the evidence. I have also not been persuaded that the adjudicator erroneously placed the burden of proof on the applicant, or that he failed to address the relevant questions in arriving at his decision that the applicant's misconduct constituted just cause for her dismissal from the bank. In the circumstances, my intervention in this matter is not warranted.

[2]      The application for judicial review is dismissed.
