Leave to appeal was refused because the UK Supreme Court's decision in PST Energy (Res Cogitans) endorsed the contractual analysis adopted by the judge, rendering the post‑decision authorities based on a sale of goods chain inapposite; the distinct issue of an intermediate supplier lacking authority was not decided by Cogitans and remains undecided, and the application did not present a proper case for leave.
