The Court does not reappraise the merits of that satisfaction or test the adequacy of the reasons, but may interfere where refusal is based on irrelevant or foreign considerations. On the facts, the Government declined reference because the claimant was treated as a supervisory employee outside the definition of workman, which was a relevant consideration.
