                        REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE COURT

                  (Delivered from the Bench at Vancouver, British Columbia,

                                       on Monday, September 29, 1997)

 

STONE, J.A.

            While we agree with counsel for the applicant that this is, indeed, a borderline case, we have not been persuaded on the basis of the particular record here before us, including that which was before the Board of Referees, that the Umpire erred in her decision of July 17, 1997.  We arrive at this conclusion despite the able argument of counsel for the applicant.

 

            The application will therefore be dismissed.
