    Leave to appeal was dismissed because the ex parte s78 order had been subsequently confirmed after an inter partes hearing, rendering a habeas corpus challenge moot; additionally, no reasonable grounds under s13 Supreme Court Act 2003 existed to justify granting leave as the High Court decision was not shown to be erroneous.
