Leave to appeal to the Court of Appeal under ss66/67 is not excluded by the LGATPA; the Act does not contain clear words or necessary implication to abrogate the leave regime. However the applicant failed to show the proposed appeal raised a question of law capable of bona fide serious argument or matters of sufficient public or private importance to outweigh cost and delay; accordingly leave to appeal is refused. The Panel was entitled to group submissions and provide high‑level reasons where appropriate and the Court found the Panel's and Council's reasons were sufficiently clear in context.
