    Court
    Supreme Court

    Leave to appeal was refused because the case is fact‑specific, raised no point of public importance, existing authority and the correct standard had been applied by lower courts, the absence of legal advice was only a relevant factor in assessing consideration given, and no substantial miscarriage of justice would result; costs of $2,500 awarded to respondent.
