The Court dismissed both appeals: the judge correctly refused leave to appeal the arbitral award because the arbitrator's construction of the Schedule of Rates was not 'obviously wrong' and the matter was a 'one‑off' dispute; the defendant's appeal against the judge's grant of leave to appeal that refusal was incompetent because no further leave under the High Court Ordinance was obtained and there is no statutory basis to appeal the subsequent leave decision under Schedule 2, so the appeal is jurisdictionally defective.
