Section 161(1)(c) criminalises obtaining access to a computer with a view to dishonest gain broadly including acquisition of information (eg home addresses); there is no requirement that the intended gain be for the purpose of committing fraud or another separate offence; motive does not alter the statutory meaning of dishonest gain; the applicant's factual and credibility-based complaints did not raise a reasonably arguable question of law and leave to appeal was refused.
