TORONTO – An Ontario court says it sees no reason to review a decision to deny Peter Nygard bail while the former fashion mogul appeals his sexual assault convictions and sentence.

In a ruling released Friday, a Court of Appeal for Ontario judge said the judge who dismissed Nygard’s bail application last month made no arguable errors in assessing his case.

Nygard’s lawyers had argued the motions judge “unfairly discounted” the value of a new medical report and “failed to appreciate” the arrangement that Nygard was proposing for his release on bail.

The judge found Nygard's appeal to be "weak" and that he had a greater incentive to flee since he faces charges in other jurisdictions.{ai:summary}<p>An Ontario court has upheld the decision to deny bail for Peter Nygard as he appeals his sexual assault convictions.
