The application for leave failed because it was not reasonably arguable that the defendant had contracted to assume the pleaded investigative and litigation duties for the applicant's sole benefit; the contract was to provide partners to act as trustees under the statutory Bankruptcy Ordinance scheme, making implication of the pleaded term inconsistent with that scheme; no BO claim was made and the trustees were released under s94, so leave to appeal was refused.
