Leave to appeal was refused because the applicant offered no reasonable prospect of success: the judge properly read the statements in context, found the defendant's defences of justification, fair comment and qualified privilege established on the evidence, found no malice to defeat privilege, and the applicant's grounds amounted to disagreement with findings of fact rather than arguable legal error; accordingly the summons was dismissed, stay refused and costs ordered to the defendant (taxed if not agreed).
