    The Court revoked all twelve summonses because (1) this Court had already determined the leave applications and, under O.59 r2A(8) and s63B Cap.336, the respondent could not seek a rehearing or further appeal on those leave decisions; (2) the respondent failed to apply to the judge below for leave in respect of the March 7 costs decision and gave no special or urgent reasons to justify direct application to the Court of Appeal; accordingly the applications were wholly without merit and were dismissed, and the respondent was ordered to pay the petitioner's costs to be summarily assessed.
