REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE COURT

(Delivered from the Bench at Toronto, Ontario, on April 19, 2007)

SHARLOW J.A.

 

[1]               We are not persuaded that the Umpire made a reviewable error in declining to reverse the decision of the Board of Referees.  The Board’s reasons indicate that they correctly understood the relevant legal principles and reached a conclusion that was reasonably open to them on the record.  

 

[2]               This application will be dismissed.  As the Respondent did not appear, no costs will be awarded.

“K. Sharlow”
