     (Delivered from the bench at Montréal

DENAULT J.A.

     Essentially, the applicant is asking us to intervene to substitute our assessment of the evidence for that of the board of referees, which was approved by the umpire. That is not the role of this Court.

     The application for judicial review will be dismissed.
