Application for leave was not itself an appeal.
The court considered what was meant by ‘substantial injustice’ after conviction after refusal of leave to appeal.
Held: The challenges failed. The court did not have jurisdiction to make the order sought. The section dealt with an appeal from any decision of the Court of appeal on appeal, and not on applications for leave.
