THE CHIEF JUSTICE—We grant an order abridging the time normally required for service of process in these proceedings.

We grant leave to appeal the decision of the Federal Court of Appeal rendered August 31, 1984.

In our view, however, this appeal fails. We generally share the views expressed by Mr. Justice Mahoney speaking for the majority of the Federal Court of Appeal. The appeal is accordingly dismissed.

Judgment accordingly.
