Leave to appeal was declined because the questions of law advanced by Big Basin were not capable of bona fide and serious argument of sufficient public or private importance to justify further appeal, they mischaracterised the contract as a contract of bailment rather than contractual repayment obligations, and the Tribunal's factual finding that at least 720 bulls were delivered meant the issues would not materially affect the outcome; further, appeals from arbitral awards are narrowly circumscribed under the Arbitration Act.
