    The Court held that the Court of Appeal correctly applied the proviso by using the inevitability test, that the applicant's contention that the conviction was not inevitable was not reasonably arguable, and therefore leave to appeal was refused; additionally, counsel's written reasons certifying prospects should not be placed before the Court in future.
