The Court dismissed both appeals: the magistrate's refusal to issue summonses was lawful and not susceptible to judicial review because the applicant had an available appeal route which he chose not to pursue; the original judge did not err in law or fact in refusing leave, PD9.2 could not be used to circumvent statutory procedures, and the applications constituted an abuse of process warranting dismissal and an award of costs against the applicant.
