Chief Justice Li:

1. This is the determination of the Appeal Committee.

2. The applicant is the respondent's daughter. The respondent is the administrator of the estate of his late wife, the applicant's mother. The litigation between the applicant and her father, the respondent has arisen out of the administration of that estate. The litigation has been protracted with many applications and appeals by the applicant.

3. Here, the applicant is seeking leave to appeal against judgments of the Court of Appeal given on 12 June 1997 in CACV No 103 of 1997 and on 26 June 1998 in CACV Nos 85, 89 and 90 of 1998. The background to these appeals are fully set out in the judgments of the Court of Appeal and need not be repeated here.

4. In our view, we do not have before us materials which satisfy us that the applicant has brought herself within the statutory provisions for leave to appeal to be granted. Accordingly, we dismiss her application for leave.
