Coram: MILLER AJ

Heard: 13 August 2012

Delivered: 23 August 2012

Reasons delivered: 24 June 2013

REASONS

MILLER AJ :

[1] In this matter and on 23 August 2012 I reviewed and set aside a ruling made by the first respondent in those proceedings in favour of the second and the third respondents.

[2] Thereafter the second and the third respondents sought leave to appeal to the Supreme Court which leave I refused to grant.

[3] I was requested to prove reasons. They are these:

1. What was required of me was to re-visit the facts and the reasons for my conclusions and to consider whether there is a reasonable prospect that another Court may come to a different conclusion. Put differently whether there are prospects of success on appeal.

2. The reasons for my decision to review and set aside the ruling were set out in a written judgment which I had prepared. I need not repeat them here.

[4] Having carefully considered the matter in the manner I indicated I remained unpersuaded that there are reasonable prospects of success and therefore I refused the application.
