The applicant having been found not to have insurable employment could obviously not apply for employment insurance benefits. [3] With respect to the applicant's arguments pertaining to the joint hearing by an umpire of the four appeals, to the failure to provide a tape and to the delay incurred, they were dismissed today in the companion file A-135-03. There is no point repeating the reasons already given in that file.
