The applicant initiated a private prosecution against his former spouse for child abduction, disobeying court orders, and perjury arising from family litigation.
The Crown intervened and directed a stay of the proceedings.
The applicant applied to set aside the stay.
The Crown sought summary dismissal of the application under Rule 34.02 of the Criminal Proceedings Rules.
The court granted the summary dismissal, finding no reasonable prospect that the application could succeed, as the Crown's decision to stay the proceedings did not amount to flagrant impropriety.
