Sneh v Sneh [2001] EWCA Civ 1035 (21 June 2001)

The application for permission to appeal and extension of time was refused because the appeal did not raise an important point of principle or practice, nor was there any other compelling reason for the Court of Appeal to hear it. The lower courts exercised their discretion properly, gave careful consideration to the evidence, and there was no prospect of success on appeal.
