Leave to appeal was granted because there are conflicting first‑instance decisions on whether Guy Lam applies to arbitration clauses in the context of winding‑up petitions; the issue is of sufficient importance and public interest to warrant appellate clarification, and the Court of Appeal should have the opportunity to determine the correct application of the Lasmos approach and the bona fide defence requirement in this context.
