- High Court
Leave to appeal was declined because the challenged matters were primarily factual or issues of weight rather than questions of law of sufficient general or public importance; LSA v Black was binding and irrelevant to the central findings of client trust breach and dishonesty; the balance of probabilities standard was correctly applied and the High Court properly considered fairness and mitigation, so no error of law was established.
