    The application for leave to appeal was refused because the husband failed to show a real prospect of success or other compelling reason under s63A(2) Cap.336; alleged errors were either immaterial or already considered and resolved by the trial judge, the proposed fresh evidence did not meet Ladd v Marshall requirements or affect the outcome, and the trial judge's factual and discretionary findings were not plainly wrong.

    FCMC2919/2014

    The judge concluded the applicant failed to demonstrate a reasonable prospect of success or other special reason under s.63A(2); the challenged factual findings and discretionary custody decision in the second judgment were not plainly wrong; omissions or alleged bias in the social worker's report were not shown to undermine the court's conclusions; therefore leave to appeal was refused.
