Leave to appeal to the Court of Appeal is granted because the statutory interpretation of s 182(1) raised a novel question of law on which the Family Court and the High Court took different approaches, and the matter involves private and potential public importance (trustees and trust assets in New Zealand, enforcement issues) sufficient to justify appeal despite delay and cost; the Court of Appeal should decide whether a New Zealand application under s 182 can be made when the dissolution order was made in Fiji.
