The Supreme Court has jurisdiction under s 7 to hear the proposed appeal because no enactment expressly or implicitly precluded such an appeal; however, on the merits the application for leave to appeal was dismissed because the applicant did not establish the necessary criteria (public or general importance or commercial significance) for leave and the application was premature given the interlocutory nature of the Court of Appeal decision and the substantive issues were for full consideration in the High Court.
