The leave application fails because the applicant did not establish that the magistrate erred or omitted relevant considerations when issuing the warrant under s126(2); the Director acted within statutory powers and Joint Office procedures, the magistrate was entitled to be satisfied on sworn information that entry was refused or apprehended and reasonable grounds existed, and any interference with BOR14 was justified by proportionality; the proposed challenge was not reasonably arguable and has no realistic prospect of success.
