Ratio: The appellant seeking leave to appeal had previously asked for legal assistance. Mr Perottis had been involved in litigation against his father’s administrator over many years. A civil restraint order had been made against him. The first defendant had been appointed administrator de bonis non because the sums owed to him from the estate now exceeded the assets and as such the court’s discretion under section 116 had been used to appoint him. There was no realistic prospect of success of appealing against that order. Leave was refused on several other grounds of appeal.
