REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE COURT
(Pronounced at hearing in Montreal,
Tuesday, December 6, 1988)

PRATTE J.:

The applicants complain that the Adjudicator substituted his appreciation of the evidence for that of the Arbitration Board. This grievance is unfounded. The Adjudicator was justified in intervening since the Board’s decision was clearly based on a perverse finding of fact, namely, that the parties had postponed the observance of a plant holiday to a day when the plant was closed and which was, moreover, a Sunday.

The application is therefore dismissed.
