- Court of Appeal
Leave to appeal was declined because the applicants failed to identify a question of law or public importance capable of bona fide and serious argument; the applicants' pre-trial open offers were not offers without prejudice except as to costs and therefore properly assessed under r 14.7; the District Court's reductions for partial success and discovery non-compliance were orthodox exercises of judicial discretion and did not disclose error warranting appellate intervention; further appeal would be disproportionate given the trivial subject matter and the costs at stake.
