W -v- Jersey Financial Services Commission [2015] JCA 060 (26 March 2015)

The Commissioner and Master correctly exercised their discretion in limiting disclosure to documents material to the decision under appeal. The legal principles applied were appropriate, and there was no misdirection or failure to consider relevant matters. The appellant failed to demonstrate a real prospect of success or any important question of law warranting leave to appeal.
