The refusal of a protective costs order by Poon J was interlocutory in nature and therefore leave to appeal was required under s14AA; the applicant's unilateral discontinuance and the resulting dismissal of the judicial review did not convert the interlocutory decision into a final one or validate an appeal without leave; absent leave the appeal is incompetent and must be struck out and dismissed; additionally the intended appeal was academic and without merit and the court would not interfere with Poon J's exercise of discretion in refusing the PCO.
