Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV1180/2025

The appeal is dismissed because the applicant failed to comply with mandatory pleading requirements by not stating the relief and grounds in Form 86 or his affirmation, failed to demonstrate any reasonably arguable basis for judicial review, and advanced new fact‑sensitive grounds on appeal which the Court will not entertain; there was no error in the judge's refusal of leave.
