Citation

MATHIAS ORTMANN (A National of Germany) v. THE SECRETARY FOR JUSTICE
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMP1912/2014

Leave to appeal was required because the variation decision was interlocutory; the application for leave was out of time and no adequate explanation or merit justified extension; the judge correctly exercised discretion in refusing variation because the applicant failed to make full disclosure of his means and the quantum of tax liability was a relevant consideration, so the leave application was dismissed and the appeal struck out as incompetent.
