    Court
    District Court
    Case number
    DCPI58/2015

    The 3rd defendant failed to demonstrate a reasonable prospect of success because the trial judge's factual findings (that pork residues caused the fall and were left by the 3rd defendant) were supported by evidence (post-accident conversation, immediate cleaning, photographic evidence), the points relied on by the 3rd defendant did not show legal error, contributory negligence assessment is within trial discretion, and the costs orders were justifiable given the pleadings and parties' conduct; therefore leave to appeal is refused and costs ordered.
