Leave to appeal was granted because, notwithstanding reservations about the vitality of several intended grounds, there existed interrelated issues of law and fact of sufficient importance — including a pure point of law on the construction of "damage" under Gateway F (Brownlie (SC) majority/minority conflict) and significant guidance sought on handling material non-disclosures in service-out applications — such that the Court of Appeal should determine them; costs of the Leave Summons ordered to be costs in the cause.
