REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE COURT
(Delivered from the bench at Montréal
on Wednesday, October 8, 1997)
DENAULT J.A.
Despite the very able submissions of the applicant, the Court believes that it has not been established that the board of referees and the umpire reached an unreasonable conclusion in ratifying the penalty imposed by the Commission.
The quantum of the penalty " three times the amount of the benefits " may seem high; however, there is nothing to suggest that the claimant ever raised this question before the board of referees " he was not present at the hearing " or before the umpire. They have no authority to interfere unless they are first shown that the Commission exercised its discretion in a non-judicial manner.1 This has not been established.
The application for judicial review will be dismissed.
