Lorence Hud appealed a decision by the Ontario Court of Justice that upheld the Chief Firearms Officer's (CFO) revocation of his firearms licence.
Hud argued the lower court erred by refusing a Charter application and denying an adjournment.
The Superior Court clarified the distinct administrative nature of the CFO's role from the Crown's office and applied the appropriate standards of review.
The court found no error in the lower court's handling of the Charter issue (as it was not properly advanced) or the adjournment request (given the applicant's burden and preparation time).
The appeal was dismissed, confirming the revocation of Hud's firearms licence.
