    Leave to appeal refused because there was no reasonable prospect of success: the alleged Nepalese legal impediment lacked expert proof and no children intervened; the judge's finding of limited earning capacity was supported by age and pension evidence; and the wife consciously declined to give oral evidence after being advised of the consequences, rendering her appeal fanciful; costs ordered against the wife with requirement for the petitioner’s solicitors to waive further recoveries as specified.
