Civil Procedure – Leave to Appeal – Family Law – Interim Child Maintenance – District Court Ordinance – Reasonable Prospect of Success – Undertaking Condition Precedent – Discretion – Leave to Appeal Dismissed – Costs Order – The Court of Appeal dismissed the Husband's renewed application for leave to appeal against a lower court decision regarding interim child maintenance. The Court held that the appeal had no reasonable prospect of success. The undertaking given by the Wife was found to stand on its own and not be a condition precedent to payment. The lower court's exercise of discretion was upheld as holistic and not faulted. Costs were awarded against the Husband, and an order nisi was made preventing oral hearing reconsideration.
