Leave to appeal was declined because applicants failed to identify an important question of law or real detriment sufficient to justify delay; under the Evidence Act without prejudice communications are protected absent a prima facie dishonest purpose or enabling of an offence and the facts did not meet that threshold, particularly as the settlement terms were disclosed and plaintiffs can pursue s174 and fiduciary claims without access to privileged negotiations.
