Holding

Application for leave to appeal dismissed. The court held that for leave to appeal to succeed, the applicant must show a substantial question of law or a new principle of law decided for the first time warranting appellate consideration. Mere allegations that the decision involves important questions of law or that an appeal has a high likelihood of success are insufficient without specifying the points of law involved.

Outcome

Application for leave to appeal refused
