                                                    REASONS FOR JUDGMENT


LÉTOURNEAU J.A.

As the plaintiff did not appear before the board of referees and, subsequently, before the umpire, the evidence in the record allowed the board of referees to conclude as it did, namely that the plaintiff made two false or misleading statements. The application for judicial review will be dismissed with costs.
