- CACV122/2018
Leave to appeal was refused because the Court of Appeal correctly applied the 'good arguable case' test on the evidence available at the interlocutory stage, found a plausible evidential basis for ownership, retention of title and jurisdictional acts, and concluded it was inappropriate to conduct a mini‑trial or permit a further appeal to the Court of Final Appeal on an evidential appraisal absent issues of great general or public importance.
