LAMER J. ORALLY FOR THE COURT:

We all agree that the appeal should be dismissed.

We share the opinion of Pratte J. of the Federal Court of Appeal that neither the board of referees nor the umpire had jurisdiction to grant the relief sought. Given the particular circumstances of this case, this appeal is dismissed without costs.
