APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT
1The Charter issues raised by the appellant have been decided in other cases which are binding on this court. We cannot give effect to these arguments.
2The Board’s decision was reasonable on the record for it.
3The extent to which the Board should initiate its own inquiries on matters not raised by the parties must depend on the circumstances. We cannot say that the Board erred in not going beyond the material placed before it.
4We note that there is an outstanding appeal by the appellant against the finding of “incapacity”. That appeal should be heard as soon as possible.
5This appeal is dismissed.
