The Court refused leave to appeal because the defendants failed to show a reasonable prospect of success: the court has jurisdiction to permit alteration or a further bill in appropriate circumstances, Master rulings did not produce an estoppel because the factual ground (non‑payment of counsel) ceased to operate once fees were paid, the claim is not an abuse of process, and the defendants did not establish that the default judgment should be set aside; costs were ordered against the defendants.
