    Leave to appeal was refused because the father had no reasonable prospect of success: the court had no jurisdiction in this leave application to remove mother's custody; there was no evidence supporting the father's allegations of intimidation; the social welfare and psychological reports supported the impugned order and explicitly recommended no visitation compensation; the father's unexplained absence from the 22 March hearing meant he was taken to have waived opposition to the social welfare report.
