Leave to appeal was granted because there is an arguable and publicly important question whether a police dog’s actions can be juridically separated from its handler such that lack of handler intent should preclude liability under s 9, and whether Ellen France J placed undue emphasis on intention rather than on training, handling, negligence or recklessness; the issue merits determination by the Court of Appeal.
