BETWEEN: JUAN JOSE JONFE OROZCO ET AL.1 Applicants and THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF CANADA Respondent REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE COURT (Delivered from the bench at Montréal, Quebec, on November 4, 2003) DÉCARY J.A.

[2] On the question of the quantum of the penalty, which the board of referees had adjusted to 50%, the Court considers that the board of referees provided sufficient explanation of the reasons leading it to conclude that the Commission had not exercised its discretion in the manner required by precedent and that the umpire had even less reason to intervene to set this quantum at 100% as counsel for the respondent had said they were satisfied with a 50% quantum. [3] The application for judicial review will therefore be allowed in the cases where the question of the penalty was raised, namely cases A-297-02, A-299-02 and A-302-02, the decision of the umpire in those cases will be set aside as to the disposition dealing with the penalty, and the matter referred back to the chief umpire or to an umpire designated by him to be again decided on the basis that the quantum of the penalty is that set by the board of referees. In the circumstances, each party will pay its own costs. [4] The application for judicial review will be dismissed in the other cases, namely cases A-292-02, A-303-02, A-294-02 and A-498-02, with costs to the respondent in the manner prescribed in Dion.
