The application for leave to appeal was refused because the Court of Appeal held that in the context of a default judgment and conflicting medical evidence the judge was required to and properly did exercise scrutiny before appointing a guardian ad litem; the applicant's approach of automatic appointment based on consent and prima facie evidence was rejected and the judge was entitled to prefer one expert over another; the 'or otherwise' ground did not meet the strict threshold for leave.
