The Crown sought summary dismissal of an appeal from a Superior Court decision that had dismissed an application for certiorari challenging a Justice of the Peace's refusal to issue process on a private criminal information.
The Court of Appeal summarily dismissed the appeal on three grounds: the appeal was frivolous and devoid of merit; the appellant was a vexatious litigant subject to a court order prohibiting him from instituting proceedings in Superior Court without leave; and the appellant lacked standing to appeal as the underlying offences were indictable, giving him no right of appeal to the Court of Appeal.
