APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT
1The appellant was convicted of two counts of threatening. The trial judge imposed a fine. The Summary Conviction Appeal Court judge dismissed the appeal. The appellant seeks leave to appeal from that dismissal. Leave to appeal is granted “sparingly”.
2The appellant argues that the proposed grounds of appeal, while not raising a question of law of significance to the administration of justice, do raise legal issues which show particularly strong grounds of appeal.
3The grounds of appeal are the same as those raised in the Summary Conviction Appeal Court. The Summary Conviction Appeal Court judge applied well settled legal principles to the specific arguments raised before him. In our view, the reasons do not point to any strong ground of appeal. To the contrary, the arguments are not strong.
4Leave is refused.
