Leave to appeal was refused because the defendant abandoned most grounds, the two remaining grounds (2(2) and 5) have no real prospects of success as they either relied on disputed factual matters requiring trial (status under Cayman law and weight of the Maples Register) or misconceived irrelevance arguments; the confidentiality leave was not pursued and an oral adjournment was properly refused as late and untenable; indemnity costs were awarded because the defendant's conduct was abusive and caused wasted costs and court resources.
