Civil procedure – summary judgment – leave to appeal – question of great general or public importance – duress – dishonoured cheques – Court of Final Appeal – Cap 484 s.22(1)(b) – application dismissed – costs. The applicant drew three personal cheques to replace his company's dishonoured post-dated cheques. He alleged duress but the Court of Appeal found his story implausible based on inherent improbability and his conduct. The application for leave to appeal to the Court of Final Appeal was dismissed because no question of great general or public importance was raised. Costs were ordered against the applicant.
Legal issues: Leave to appeal - question of great general or public importance
Outcome: Application for leave to appeal dismissed
