    Leave to appeal was refused because the defendant's grounds were challenges to the trial judge's factual findings without any identified legal error or fresh evidence, and therefore did not show a reasonable prospect of success under s63A(2). The rental terms bound the defendant until return and the defendant breached those terms, entitling the plaintiff to recover insurance-related losses.
