Decision

[1] On August 19, 2013, a panel of the board of referees (“the Board”) determined that the appeal of the Applicant from the previous determination of the Commission should be dismissed.  In due course, the Applicant filed an application requesting leave to appeal to the Appeal Division.

[2] In his application, the Applicant states that the Board rendered an unfair decision because they did not accept his explanations regarding his business activities. He also provided details of his current circumstances, but failed to articulate any error or ground of appeal that could cause me to overturn the decision of the Board.  I therefore turned my mind to the docket to determine if any ground of appeal existed on the face of the record.

[3] Having considered the appeal docket, the written submissions, and the decision of the Board, I find no ground of appeal that would have a reasonable chance of success. As evidenced by the decision, the Board conducted a proper hearing, weighed the evidence, made reasonable findings of fact, established the correct law, and applied the facts to the law properly.

[4] In my view, the Board was extremely thorough and came to properly supported conclusions which were entirely open to them.  There is no reason to disturb their decision.

[5] As it has no reasonable chance of success, this application for leave to appeal must be refused.
