Leave to appeal was granted because the plaintiffs had already instituted an appeal that would necessarily require the Court of Appeal to assess the judge's earlier interlocutory ruling; permitting the 26th defendant to appeal allows the appellate court to review the decision in context, avoids artificial restriction, and enables efficient resolution; costs of the leave application were ordered in the cause and the 26th defendant was granted an extension of time to serve his defence until 28 days after the Court of Appeal delivers its decision.
