- LORD JUSTICE CHADWICK: There are before us three applications: an application for permission to appeal, an application for an extension of time for appealing and an application to amend the Appellant's Notice.
- After we had commenced the hearing, we were informed by counsel for the applicant that she was instructed to withdraw each of those applications. We indicated that we were not minded simply to give permission for the applications to be withdrawn, lest that could be taken as an indication that the applications had not been dealt with and so found a further application that they be revived or restored in the future. In those circumstances, we invited counsel either to consent to the applications being dismissed; or to proceed with the applications. We indicated that, if neither of those courses were taken, we would treat these applications as applications made to us on which we had heard whatever submissions were going to be advanced to us in their support. That is the position in which we now find ourselves.
- Having heard the submissions that have been made, and having read the skeleton arguments - not only that provided by counsel, but also that provided by the applicant when acting in person - we are quite satisfied that these are applications which must be dismissed. Accordingly we dismiss them.
ORDER: Application for permission to appeal, application for an extension of time for appealing and application to amend the Appellant's Notice refused with costs, to be the subject of a detailed assessment.
(Order not part of approved judgment)
