REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE COURT

(Delivered from the Bench at Québec, Quebec, on September 23, 2010)

 

TRUDEL J.A.

 

[1]               The Umpire was apparently misled by the Commission’s assertion that it had limited its calculation of the hours to November 3, 2007. He interpreted that to mean that the Commission had not included the hours worked prior to that date, but it had indeed done so. With respect, the Umpire was wrong to intervene.

 

[2]               Accordingly, the application will be allowed without costs, the Umpire’s decision set aside and the matter referred back to the Chief Umpire or his designate for redetermination on the basis that the Commission’s appeal must be allowed on the ground that the claimant had not accumulated the hours required to be entitled to benefits.
