DETERMINATION

_________________________

Mr Justice Chan PJ:

1. Leave to appeal is sought on the ground of substantial and grave injustice. We do not consider that there is any reasonably arguable case of substantial and grave injustice.

2. The trial judge applied the guidelines in Turnbull. We think he is right to do so. The Court of Appeal doubted the applicability of the Turnbull principles in this case. We are unable to share such doubt.

3. The application is therefore dismissed.
