Leave to appeal was dismissed because the issues raised did not involve questions of public or general importance nor did they disclose an appearance of a miscarriage of justice; the lower courts' factual and legal findings that the warrants were technically deficient but supported by an evidential basis and produced only limited, trivial consequences were sound, and the presence of IPCA inquiries and police follow-up reduced the justification for public law compensation.
