The application for leave to appeal was dismissed because the defendant could not rely on the as of right limb: a liquidated counterclaim cannot be severed from a related unliquidated principal claim for the purpose of obtaining an appeal as of right; and the discretionary limb was not engaged because the case did not involve questions of great general or public importance and reasonable prospects of success were insufficient to justify exceptional leave under s22(1)(b).
