                                     (delivered from the Bench at Toronto, Ontario,

                                                    on Thursday July 2, 1998)

ROTHSTEIN, J.

[1]In spite of the very able submissions of Applicant's counsel I am of the opinion this is not a case that warrants judicial intervention. The panel's decision is one based entirely on credibility. The panel gives a number of examples of implausibilities in the applicant's evidence, I am not persuaded the panel made any reviewable error. The judicial review is dismissed.
