Civil procedure – leave to appeal – strike out – recusal – costs orders – enforcement – section 14AA(4) High Court Ordinance – reasonable prospect of success – interests of justice – Order 59 rule 2A – summary assessment of costs – The defendant sought leave to appeal against the dismissal of his applications to strike out an originating summons to enforce costs orders and to recuse the Master. The Court of Appeal held that there was no reasonable prospect of success and no other reason in the interests of justice to grant leave. The defendant had not appealed the underlying costs orders and his allegations of bias were unfounded. The five points of law raised were irrelevant to the judgment under appeal. Application dismissed with costs summarily assessed at $10,000.
Legal issues: Leave to appeal against dismissal of strike out and recusal applications
