REASONS FOR JUDGMENT
1 When this matter was called on this morning, the applicant moved for judgment or alternatively for an adjournment upon the basis of alleged non-compliance by the respondent with directions in this matter. I have previously given my reasons for dismissing that motion. I am now asked pursuant to O 52 r 10 for leave to appeal against that decision. The proposed grounds of appeal as outlined by the applicant are by no means clear, but appear to relate to little more than a revisiting of the issues which I have considered, although there is also an assertion that I am biased and that I did not deal with some unspecified matters allegedly raised in an affidavit filed by the applicant in support of the motion.
2 The subject matter of the motion was very much a matter of practice. I cannot see that the applicant could have any prospects of success on an appeal, and in those circumstances I refuse leave to appeal.
