Note in application for permission to appeal to the Court of Session by Cabot Financial (UK) LTD against Jordan Walls (Sheriff Appeal Court Civil) [2025] SACCIV 33 (08 July 2025)

The application for permission to appeal was refused because the proposed grounds did not raise any important point of principle or practice of general importance, nor did they identify any error of law or compelling reason for a second appeal. The Sheriff Appeal Court's decision was based on established principles and statutory interpretation, and the applicant's arguments were specific to the facts of the case with poor prospects of success.
