The application for leave to appeal was refused because the Kebilene principle precludes using judicial review to intervene in the criminal trial process on evidentiary and stay issues, the applicant's arguments were not reasonably arguable as matters of general or great importance under s22(1)(b) of the CFAO, and alternative remedies or the ordinary criminal appellate process were available; therefore leave to appeal was denied and costs awarded.
