The applicant sought an order under s. 684 of the Criminal Code assigning counsel to act on her behalf in a summary conviction appeal.
While the court found the appeal raised an arguable issue, it determined the applicant had sufficient financial means to retain counsel.
The court noted that the applicant's high monthly expenses included discretionary choices, such as boarding three horses, and concluded that reorganizing her finances would allow her to pay for legal services.
The application was dismissed.
