The Court of Appeal refused leave to appeal against the district judge's case management and committal decisions because the judge had considered the medical evidence and other materials, acted within the generous ambit of discretion required for case management, the contempt finding and indemnity costs were not plainly wrong given the gross delay in filing Form E and lack of reasonable explanation, the WhatsApp material lawfully fell to be expunged for confidentiality and irrelevance, and the proposed bias ground was speculative and not permitted to be raised for the first time.
