In a de­ci­sion ear­li­er this week, three Law Lords of the Unit­ed King­dom-based Privy Coun­cil de­nied Chad An­toine per­mis­sion to pur­sue a fi­nal ap­peal over a de­ci­sion by the lo­cal courts to re­ject his le­gal chal­lenge.

"Spe­cial leave is re­fused be­cause the ap­peal is de­void of mer­it," a no­tice on the Privy Coun­cil's web­site stat­ed.
