Court of Appeal for Ontario
Before: Fairburn A.C.J.O., MacPherson and Coroza JJ.A.
Between
Her Majesty the Queen
Respondent
and
Stefan Petre
Appellant
Counsel:
Stefan Petre, appearing in person
Nicole Rivers, for the respondent
Heard and released orally: September 8, 2020
REASONS FOR DECISION
1The appellant was convicted of criminal harassment. He appealed to the Superior Court of Justice. This is an application for leave to appeal from a decision of Roberts J., dismissing the summary conviction appeal.
2The appellant appears to wish to re-argue the case that has already been determined. The threshold test for leave to appeal is high: R. v. R.R., 2008 ONCA 497. We see no issue significant to the administration of justice beyond this case and there is no merit to the proposed appeal.
3There is a fresh evidence application before the court involving the translation of certain documents. The fresh evidence merely assists the court in understanding some of the documents, but does not have any bearing on the leave application.
4For these reasons, the fresh evidence application is dismissed and leave to appeal is denied.
