- Supreme Court
Leave to bring a leapfrog appeal is refused because the required exceptional circumstances and necessity in the interests of justice are not established: the additional evidence is not fresh or compelling and raises no distinct question of law; the fraud and lien allegations lack foundation or are extraneous; interlocutory discovery issues are beyond this Court's jurisdiction or lack sufficient prospects of success; and claimed privilege was rightly rejected below.
