The application was dismissed because the Summons did not properly seek leave to appeal, a notice of appeal cannot be served without leave, the one‑day delay was inexcusable with no supporting evidence and no adequate explanation, the higher threshold for inexcusable delay was not met as there was no real prospect of success on appeal against an order granting unconditional leave to defend, and permitting the appeal would be an unjustified satellite proceeding prejudicial to trial preparation.
