REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE COURT
(Delivered from the Bench at Vancouver, British Columbia on November 30, 2004)
SHARLOW J.A.
[1] Having reviewed the record and heard the submissions, we are all of the view that this application for judicial review should be dismissed.
[2] The reasons for decision of the Pension Appeals Board are not satisfactory in certain respects. However, we cannot conclude that there is any error that warrants the intervention of this Court. We believe that the Board followed the proper course when it directed that the issue of disability be determined at a new hearing where the whole of the evidence can be assessed along with the credibility of the witnesses.
[3] The application for judicial review will be dismissed.
