    The application for leave to appeal was refused because the proposed grounds merely repeated matters already considered at trial, did not demonstrate a reasonable prospect of success, fresh evidence criteria were not met, and the trial judge's factual findings and the order directing sale proceeds to be held for periodic child maintenance were neither plainly wrong nor unfair; accordingly leave to appeal was denied and costs awarded to the respondent.

    Leave to appeal was refused because the applicant's grounds amount to challenges to the trial judge's factual evaluations and weighing of evidence rather than showing any principled error or misapplication of discretion; there is no reasonable prospect of success nor any other reason in the interests of justice to grant leave.
