Court of Appeal, in an ex tempore judgment, dismisses appeal and upholds decision of the High Court refusing the appellant leave to seek judicial review of an order for possession made by the Circuit Court, on the grounds that: (a) the appellant had raised no arguable ground upon which leave could be granted; (b) all the grounds were entirely misconceived and amounted to no more than an attempt to an appeal on the merits; and (c) the allegation of objective bias against the Circuit Court and High Court judges was completely without basis.
