- High Court
Leave to appeal out of time was granted because the applicant genuinely misunderstood the appeals regime and registry processes, but leave to appeal was refused on the merits because the judge's conduct did not amount to actual or apparent bias, the Law Commission association was remote, the adjournment to permit amendment of pleadings was appropriate, and the high threshold for recusal and leave to appeal was not met.
