1.	LORD JUSTICE BUXTON:  This is an application for permission to appeal against a decision of the Nottingham County Court. It has been the subject of several adjournments. It was put on specially today to accommodate the applicants. However, yesterday they wrote a long letter to the Court explaining that that they have a series of serious medical problems that precludes their attendance. I am not going to dismiss the application today for want of prosecution. What I intend to do is administratively to cause the applicants to be contacted and they are to be told ‑‑ and it is decision that I make now ‑‑ that it is a condition of this application not being dismissed today that they must submit to it being decided by me on paper and not further in Court.
(Application to be decided on paper)
