The application for leave to issue a warrant was refused because the mandatory statutory prerequisites under Ord.75 r.5 and r.5(4) — issuance of the writ and filing of the supporting affidavit — were not satisfied at the time of the application; issuance of a warrant is discretionary and cannot override those requirements.
