Leave for the sole director to represent Chesterfields was refused: the Mannix rule remains binding; the applicant failed to prove exceptional circumstances or to discharge the onus of demonstrating current impecuniosity with adequate evidence; the litigation is complex and requires experienced counsel; permitting lay advocacy would risk prejudice to the Court and the respondent; the joinder application was struck out and costs were reserved.
