The applicant sought leave to appeal his convictions and sentence for dredging and filling shore lands without a work permit under the Public Lands Act.
He had been fined $3,000 for each conviction, placed on probation, and made subject to a rehabilitation order.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the application for leave to appeal, finding that the proposed grounds of appeal had no merit and did not meet the high threshold of raising a question of law essential in the public interest or for the due administration of justice.
