REVELAS J:
1. This   is   an   application   for   leave   to   appeal   against   a  
judgment handed down on 29   November 2002 by me.   At that  
stage   the   applicant   had   launched   urgent   proceedings  
seeking   that   the   disciplinary   proceedings   instituted   by  
the   first   respondent   against   him.   be   stayed   pending   the  
outcome   of   certain   criminal   proceedings   regarding   the

same   allegations   which   were   instituted   on   or   about  
18  November   2000.     Assurances   were   given   that   these  
proceedings would take place.
2. I declined to grant the relief sought by the applicant.  
I have set out in a reasoned judgment why I did not grant  
the relief.   I have nothing to add to that judgment.   I  
have   considered   the   matter,   and   in   my   view   I   do   not  
believe   that   there   is   a   reasonable   prospect   that   the  
Labour Appeal Court would come to a different conclusion  
than I had come to.
3. Consequently   the   application   for   leave   to   appeal   is  
dismissed with costs.
