The lapse of the leave granted under Order 52 r3(2) does not deprive the court of jurisdiction to entertain fresh leave applications in the same proceedings; the July Orders constituted fresh leave to amend the statement and to apply for committal; non-payment of the prescribed fee in the circumstances did not invalidate the 2nd Leave Applications and, at worst, was an irregularity curable by the court; there was no material nondisclosure or breach of candour warranting setting aside of the July Orders; respondents' summonses were dismissed and leave for substantive hearing was confirmed.
