1. This was an application by the defendant shipowners seeking leave to appeal against the order of Ng J dated 21 July 2014, by which he dismissed their application to set aside the arrest of their vessel, the “DEWI UMAYI”, and the service of the in rem writ upon them. That application was made on the grounds that the court had no Admiralty jurisdiction in respect of the claim, and, alternatively, on the basis that the proceedings were an abuse of process.
