Leave for a second appeal was refused because the proposed appeal did not raise any matter capable of serious argument nor involve an interest of sufficient importance to justify further appeal; the debarment/unless order and striking out were lawful responses to non‑payment and abuse of process and granting leave to challenge the interlocutory order under s 76(5) would unfairly permit a second bite and prejudice the respondent; Judge Joyce's substantive findings on defamation, damages and absence of bias were within lawful discretion.
