If a requirement of leave for appeals to the Court of Appeal is introduced, the Court of
Appeal should have power, in relation to applications for leave which are wholly
unmeritorious and tantamount to an abuse of its process, to dismiss such applications
without an oral hearing, subject to the applicant being given one final opportunity to show
cause in writing why the application should not be so dismissed.
Proposal
(for the Court of Appeal to adopt a special procedure for dismissing certain
applications for leave to appeal) should not be adopted.
