Mr D Lambourne for 2nd Respondent

JUDGMENT

Before us is an application for leave to appeal out of time.

There is no explanation as to why the applicant has remained silent for 12 years but in addition to that, and more importantly, he was not a party to the original proceedings and so has no right of appeal in any event.

The application is therefore refused and dismissed.
