Leave to appeal was refused because the questions advanced were fact-specific and context-dependent rather than matters of great general or public importance; the Court did not introduce a novel precondition to doctrines of inconsistency or estoppel but correctly required an assessment of the factual effect of the oral statements in context; the "or otherwise" limb was not granted as the court follows the practice of leaving that determination to the Court of Final Appeal; costs awarded to the defendant.
