The moving party sought leave to appeal a decision of the Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Appeal Tribunal, which found it had no jurisdiction to consider his appeal regarding the classification of his property in the Farm Property Class.
The Divisional Court denied leave to appeal, finding that the moving party failed to follow the mandatory statutory procedure of requesting a reconsideration from the Administrator before appealing.
The court concluded there was no reason to doubt the legal correctness of the Tribunal's decision.
