Leave to appeal was refused because fresh leave applications and fresh originating summonses validly commenced new committal proceedings notwithstanding prior lapse; non-disclosure of the prior lapse was not material in the circumstances; the six-month time-bar in s26 Magistrates Ordinance does not apply by analogy to committal for criminal contempt; no legitimate expectation arose from magistrates' charges to preclude committal proceedings.
