The application was refused because the applicant failed to establish any of the exceptional grounds for admitting overseas counsel: the case was not shown to be unusually difficult or complex, the applicant would not add a significant additional dimension (authorities cited do not generalise), and there was insufficient evidence that no suitably skilled and available local counsel existed; public and media interest did not alter the conclusion.
