     REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE COURT

     (Delivered from the bench at Montréal, Quebec,

     on Tuesday, March 14, 2000)

DÉCARY J.A.

[1] We are of the view that this application for judicial review cannot succeed.

[2] Given that the board of referees" reasons for its decision were very brief and that the board disregarded a significant admission by the claimant, the umpire could and should have intervened.

    

Page: 2

[3] Furthermore, the allegation that there was a breach of the audi alteram partem rule is not expressed in terms that are clear enough for us to find that such a breach actually occurred.

[4] The application for judicial review will be dismissed.
