The Supreme Court refused leave because the applicant could not demonstrate sufficient prospect of success on the core issues (the concealment of the divorce proceedings as relevant information and lack of factual basis for humanitarian or counsel-error claims) and failed to show the rare and exceptional circumstances required for a direct appeal from the High Court; further evidence was not admissible at the leave stage and costs were awarded to the respondent.
