Leave to appeal was refused because the applicants failed to show a reasonable prospect of success or other interest of justice under s.11AA(6); the Tribunal correctly applied the compensation approach to these preliminary issues and its exercise of discretion was not plainly wrong or legally erroneous; accordingly costs were ordered against the applicants on High Court scale and specific assessed amounts awarded.
