Hon Rogers VP:

1.  This is an application for leave to appeal to the Court of Final Appeal.  The applicant seeks to raise the same matter that was dealt with in paragraph 4 of the judgment of this court of 27 June 2006.

2.  The matter in my view is clear.   The applicant was at the hearing of his bankruptcy petition represented by solicitors who very sensibly took the position that they could not resist the making of a bankruptcy order.  That was more than six years ago now and the applicant now seeks to challenge yet again that ruling.

3.  In my view there is absolutely no merit in this application and it falls to be dismissed. 

Hon Tang JA:

4.  I agree.

Hon Barma J:

5.  I also agree.
