Permission to appeal was refused because the applicant failed to demonstrate a reasonable prospect of success or that the trial judge's factual findings were perverse; the trial judge correctly applied s17 shifting the evidential burden to the respondent who discharged it on the balance of probabilities; exclusion of the Lianwei property from the matrimonial pool was a fact-based finding supported by evidence; however permission to appeal is granted limited to the original trial costs order due to arguable issues on legal principle and fairness.
