Leave to appeal was required and refused because the defendant’s challenge — that payment out under Order 22A rule 1(1) was in substance an interim payment barred by earlier ruling and therefore without jurisdiction — was not reasonably arguable; Order 22A rule 1(1) legitimately authorises release of monies paid into court and the Tribunal’s CT Decision confirming liability for back-catalogue licence fees supported releasing the funds.
