                                                                on January 20, 2003.)

LÉTOURNEAUJ.A.:


[1]                 In the particular circumstances of this appeal in which, from the beginning and throughout the litigation, the appellant has engaged in multiple proceedings, creating such confusion that a miscarriage of justice could result for the respondent, the appeal will be allowed without costs, for the sole purpose of amending the order made by the Motions Judge on

August 27, 2001. The portion of that order referring to the judge to be appointed now reads as follows:

A judge will be appointed to proceed by way of a specially managed proceeding to determine, on the basis of the evidence in docket T-792-00, whether or not the refusal to reinstate the respondent following the order to reinstate made by Arbitrator François G. Fortier was based on unjustified or illegal grounds, and accordingly to establish the compensation.
