Procedure — Leave to Appeal — Deputy Judge’s Order — Costs — The plaintiff sought leave to appeal against the construction of the Judgment and costs orders made by a deputy judge. The court held that the plaintiff did not demonstrate reasonable prospects of success nor any error in law or procedural irregularity that would justify leave. There was no established practice to refer orders back to deputy judges for clarification or amendment without regard to finality and expeditious case resolution. The plaintiff was advised of the appropriate appeal process against costs if grounds existed. Leave was refused and costs were summarily assessed at $70,000.
