Leave to appeal to Her Majesty in Council was granted because the question whether a court can, by exercise of discretion, overcome an express statutory prohibition is one of sufficient general and public importance to warrant referral; additionally the appellant was held to have an appeal as of right because the value of her employment (salary plus benefit of subsidised apartment) met the monetary threshold. Leave was made subject to usual security and timetable conditions.
