CACV285/2020

Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CAMP177/2018

Leave to appeal to the Court of Final Appeal was refused because the questions raised did not involve any issue of great general or public importance, there was no prospect of success in the intended appeal, the statutory criteria under s22(1)(b) Cap.484 were not met, and the applicant failed to file required written submissions so the application was decided on papers.
