WRIGHT J
1. On 13 October 2025 I handed down a typed, signed judgment. Andrew had
sought to enforce a determination by Mr Laing, sitting as an adjudicator, in
favour of Andrew in a dispute about certain paintwork that And rew had to do
for Capital. I found for Andrew on the application and on Cap ital's counter
application, wh ich was essentially the inverse of Andrew 's application.
2. Now Capital seeks leave to appeal my judgment and order.
3. In my view, Cap ital has a reasonable prospect on appeal. The case
concerned the interpretation of a building contract.
4. This matter does not need the attention of the SCA.

2025.
