The application for cross-examination and for leave to administer interrogatories was refused because both would require the Court of Appeal to undertake first-instance fact-finding going to the merits and credibility of witnesses; such procedures are inappropriate at the appellate stage and credibility should not be resolved by an appellate panel; interrogatories remain available under Order 26 but should be pursued at first instance or renewed before the judges hearing the appeal if necessary.
