Issued by: Ayesha Bin Kalban Assistant Registrar Date of issue: 07 January 2019 At: 10am SCHEDULE OF REASONS 1.I find that the Appellant’s application for permission to appeal does not have a real prospect of success nor is there some other compelling reason why the appeal should be heard, pursuant to RDC 44.8. 2. Moreover, I find that the Appellant’s appeal notice and the skeleton arguments fail to identify any error in the decision of the Judge and do not identify any grounds for appeal, pursuant to RDC 44.35. 3.
