Leave to appeal refused because the court concluded there is no reasonable prospect of success: section 56 of the LPO must be read as imposing a mandatory written requirement for enforceability of non‑contentious fee agreements, English and local authorities (Electrical, Re A, Super Strategy) support that conclusion, and the plaintiff's distinctions and reliance on Deacons/Clare v Joseph do not demonstrate a tenable appellate argument.
