The application for leave to appeal was dismissed because the judge had considered the deceased's unrelated and unforeseen death and there was no error of law or principle in treating such death as a contingency inherent in litigation rather than an automatic special circumstance under O.22 r.15(3); the exercise of discretion on costs was within the generous ambit of reasonable disagreement and the intended appeal had no reasonable prospect of success.
