EVANS, J.A.

[1]                We are not satisfied that the Board based its decision on an erroneous finding of fact that it made in a perverse or capricious manner or without regard to the material before it, or that it committed any error of law in its formulation or application of the relevant statutory provision.

[2]                The application for judical review will be dismissed. In his memorandum counsel for the respondent explicitly did not seek costs, and none will be awarded.
