Leave to appeal was refused because the applicant failed to demonstrate a question of law or fact of sufficient importance to justify a second appeal; the Magna Carta argument was not capable of bona fide serious argument as it does not displace s 19A absent express statutory direction; discretionary considerations (interlocutory nature of issue, cost, delay, likely modest damages, concurrent High Court judgments and protection of defendants' reputations) outweighed the applicant's interest in jury trial.
