- Court
- High Court
Leave to appeal was granted because the modest delay was not unreasonably late and the proposed appeal was not clearly hopeless, but the application to transfer proceedings to the High Court was dismissed because the Family Court is the specialist forum and there was no good reason to transfer; timetabling directions and costs orders were imposed to prevent further delay.
