Leave to appeal was refused because the applicant's grounds did not raise any question of general or public importance nor any appearance of substantial miscarriage of justice; the Court of Appeal correctly concluded that the lack of standing did not preclude a costs award and that r 43 did not apply given the filing and fixture timetable.

Application to recall dismissed because appellant's grounds lacked merit: the Court correctly applied r 37 and its earlier minute preserved respondent's right to seek strike-out for non-payment of security; the appellant's bankruptcy vested the appeal in the Official Assignee; recall powers are narrow and must be exercised only for very special reasons; appellant had notice and failed to appear, and costs remain at the Court's discretion.

Leave to appeal out of time was granted because the applicant's failure to file within time was inadvertent and based on a genuine misunderstanding about the effect of a rehearing application, there was no particular or specific prejudice to the respondent beyond general inconvenience, and the proposed appeal raised some arguable points of law such that justice required granting indulgence.
