Leave to appeal was granted because it was arguable that the Government's exclusion of salary and pension from its proof of debt operated as a surrender of that security (or at least gave rise to estoppel or restitutionary claims) and that the trial judge may therefore have erred in concluding there was no viable cause of action; the procedural history (payments to the Official Receiver and subsequent withdrawal of the proof) raised triable issues of fact and law deserving appellate consideration.
