The motion, to the extent it purported to appeal against Jessup J's judgment refusing leave to appeal from a Federal Magistrate's judgment, was precluded by s 24(1AAA) and was incompetent; to the extent it was a motion to set aside an order made in the applicant's absence, it was not appropriate to exercise any such power because Jessup J had considered whether the Federal Magistrate's decision was infected by error and concluded the challenge was without substance.
