The court dismissed the respondent's application for leave to appeal: where paternity is in dispute the court may exercise its statutory discretion under s.13 PCO to order scientific tests absent strong reasons to the contrary; the judge did not reverse the burden of proof nor fail in procedural fairness by refusing leave; the respondent's grounds showed no reasonable prospect of success and no other reason in the interests of justice to grant leave.
