     REASONS FOR JUDGMENT



LÉTOURNEAU J.A.


     As the evidence in the record regarding the date on which the claimant did his last day of work comes from the plaintiff himself and from his employer and was not contradicted, the plaintiff did not persuade the Court that the umpire erred in his conclusion. The application for judicial review will be dismissed with costs.
