APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT

[1] The parties all agree that the decision that was made by the ORB has no current effect, or consequence for Ms. Kankis.

[2] We cannot see that the alternative orders suggested to us or the order we propose to make carry any practical consequences.

[3] In our view the order made by the ORB was effectively erased by the decision of Trotter J. We would therefore quash the appeal from it.
