SELECTED CASE LAW

BRITISH COLUMBIA:

2007 BCCA 252

In 2007 BCCA 252, Ms. B applied for an extension for time for leave to appeal from a conviction of making repeated phone calls to Mr. G with the intent to harass. Her application was eight years late. Mr. G had given her an incomplete mark while she was a student at the university he taught at and she wanted to contest the wrongness of the mark and began making the calls. She was sentenced to two years’ probation.

The court denied her application and refused the extra time because the application was un-timely and without merit.
