Robert Osadchuck, Clerk at the hearing JUDGMENT [ 1 ] Even assuming that the Applicant acted diligently in respect of the present application, the Court is of the view that the proposed appeal has no reasonable chance of success. [ 2 ] The first instance judgment rests on findings of fact and findings of mixed fact and law, including findings on issues of credibility, which could only be overturned in appeal if shown to be tainted by one or several palpable and overriding errors. [ 3 ] None of the arguments presented by the Applicant show a reasonable possibility that she will succeed in convincing the Court to reverse the judgment on the basis of this stringent standard. [ 4 ] This finding suffice to conclude that the application is ill-founded and must therefore be dismissed.

FOR THESE REASONS, THE COURT: [ 5 ] DISMISSES the Application for authorization to appeal beyond the delay, with legal costs. GUY GAGNON, J.A. PATRICK HEALY, J.A. FRÉDÉRIC BACHAND, J.A.
