REASONS FOR JUDGMENT
(Delivered from the bench at Québec, Quebec
on Tuesday, October 17, 2000)
NOËL J.A.
[1] The appellant objected in this Court to the findings of fact made by the trial judge. In particular, he stressed that the evidence did not allow the latter to conclude that Messrs. Sanchagrin and Lavoie and Ms. Robichaud were acting on his behalf as nominees.
[2] Despite the strenuous efforts of Mr. St-Jean to try and persuade the Court to the contrary, we consider that the evidence allowed the trial judge to draw this conclusion. Additionally, we can find no error in his judgment that would warrant the Court's intervention.
[3] The application for judicial review will be dismissed. In the circumstances, costs will be awarded in accordance with paragraph 2 of the Order made on October 12, 2000.
