APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT

[1] We have reviewed the submissions of the appellant, both her factum and her further written submissions in lieu of oral argument. In her submissions, she has not identified any error of law or fact that would justify appellate review. The motion judge gave careful and thorough reasons for granting summary judgment dismissing the claim. In particular, the motion judge found that the appellant was not an employee but rather an independent contractor and that there could be no claim for wrongful dismissal. Moreover the respondents were entitled to terminate the contract. We see no other basis upon which a claim could be made out on this record. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. No costs sought by the respondents.
