- High Court
Leave to appeal dismissed because applicants failed to identify an arguable error: they did not produce cogent evidence that payment arrangements created a genuine and substantial dispute; the contested invoices were, save for acknowledged exceptions, valid payment claims under s 20 CCA notwithstanding technical defects; there was insufficient evidence that issuing the statutory demands constituted abuse of process; the importance of any appeal did not outweigh delay and prejudice to the respondent.
