[1]                 We are of the view that the Umpire made no error that warrants our intervention by concluding that the applicant was not disinterested, that he worked in order to save his father's business and that he benefited from it since he was receiving $90 weekly from the business.

[2]                 The application for judicial review will be dismissed with costs.
