The summons was dismissed because the applicant failed to provide adequate, substantiated evidence that attendance in person was impossible or that VCF was necessary; the commercial Project was the primary motive and was insufficiently explained; the applicant intended to attend when the trial was fixed; the evidence was likely to be hotly contested so in-person cross-examination was required to avoid prejudice; accordingly leave to give evidence by VCF was denied and costs were awarded against the applicant.
