    DCCJ4635/2023

    The application for leave to appeal was refused because the applicant's grounds lacked a reasonable prospect of success: the alleged non‑service and procedural unfairness were not supported by the record, the allegations of solicitor misconduct were unsupported by evidence considered in the earlier judgment, and the settlement occurred with the applicant's consent; accordingly there was no justification to grant an oral hearing under s63A.

    WML v. LCK

    Citation
    WML v. LCK
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMP3011/2014

    The costs nisi order was not varied because the appeal was allowed primarily due to the husband not receiving a fair trial, which was not the wife's fault, and because the wife's leave application was brief and did not materially increase the costs of the appeal; therefore no order as to costs was appropriate.
