    The application for leave to appeal was refused because it plainly contravened the 2019 restriction order and failed to meet the statutory threshold in section 22(1)(b) of Cap 484 (it did not involve matters of general or public importance); the summons to change the named defendant was dismissed because, with the notice of appeal struck and the appeal withdrawn, there was no reasonable basis for substitution.
