The appeal fails because the decisions refusing the requested information were intermediate or procedural (not reviewable at leave stage absent exceptional circumstances), the requested information was irrelevant to the substantive issue of whether the applicant should have qualified his audit opinion in 2010–2011, and there was no proper basis to find the Disciplinary Committee had access to undisclosed material; consequently leave was not reasonably arguable and the appeal is dismissed.
