Leave to appeal was refused because the proposed appeal raised fact‑specific issues about contractual construction under Vanuatu law without any matter of general or public importance or appearance of miscarriage of justice; the Court of Appeal correctly held clause 2.1(b) was sufficiently certain, clause 11 was not required to fill a gap, and the vendor's obligations were sequential such that failure to pay constituted breach.
