ENDORSEMENT
1The applicant requires leave to appeal from the decision of the summary conviction appeal judge. We see no basis to grant leave to appeal.
2The car the appellant drove to the border was “subject to duties” under s. 159 of the Customs Act, R.S.C., c. 1 (2nd Supp.). We see no error in the decision of the summary conviction appeal judge in so holding.
3Leave to appeal the decision of the summary conviction appeal judge is denied.
