- High Court
Leave to appeal was declined because the proposed grounds did not raise a question of law capable of serious argument or of sufficient general or public importance; the High Court's conclusion that financial and professional consequences that flow from misconduct are not mitigating factors does not constitute a novel question of law warranting further appeal and the interests of finality weighed against granting leave.
