ENDORSEMENT

[1] The applicant requires leave to appeal from the decision of the summary conviction appeal judge. We see no basis to grant leave to appeal.

[2] The 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.

[3] Leave to appeal the decision of the summary conviction appeal judge is denied.
