Counsel at hearing: For the appellant: Julian C. Williams For the respondent: Charles A. LeBlond, Q.C. Avocats à l'audience : Pour l’appelante : Julian C. Williams Pour l’intimée : Charles A. LeBlond, c. r. THE COURT The appeal is dismissed. The following is the judgment delivered by THE COURT [ 1 ] The degree to which a claimant under the Workers’ Compensation Act , R.S.N.B. 1973, c. W- 13, suffers from a “permanent physical impairment” is a question of fact to be decided by the Workplace Health, Safety and Compensation Commission and the WHSCC Appeals Tribunal.

This Court may only interfere with such a factual determination in circumstances where the Appeals Tribunal has committed a palpable and overriding error (see City of Saint John v. The Workplace Health, Safety and Compensation Commission of New Brunswick and Rowe , 2008 NBCA 83 , 338 N.B.R. (2d) 213, at para. 4 ). [ 2 ] As we have not been persuaded the Appeals Tribunal made a palpable and overriding error, the appeal is dismissed without costs. __________________________________ J.T. ROBERTSON, J.A.
