SCHEDULE OF REASONS
1. The Appellant, as a litigant in person, was given every opportunity to present his case at the hearing on 18 July 2024 with the aid of his son. The arguments canvassed for the purpose of seeking permission to appeal were the subject of findings by the Court in the reasons given and/or are fully answered in the Claimant’s submissions and cannot justify the grant of permission to appeal.
2. The PTA Application is refused as there are no realistic prospects of success.
3. The Respondent is entitled to his costs of the Application to be the subject of assessment by the Registrar, if not agreed.
