- Case number
- CACV33/2008
The application for leave to appeal to the Court of Final Appeal was dismissed because the applicant failed to show a real difference in interest outcomes warranting s22(1)(a) certification and failed to identify questions of general or public importance under s22(1)(b); the estoppel issue did not present a novel public law question as pleaded and was correctly treated as a defence mechanism rather than a sword to create a cause of action.
