- Court of Appeal
Leave to bring the pretrial appeal was declined because the proposed appeal raised no novel or widely significant legal issue, its merits were weak given the probative and distinctive nature of the propensity evidence, the matter could be assessed more appropriately at trial or on conviction appeal, and overall interests of justice and system efficiency did not justify interlocutory appellate intervention.
