DETERMINATION
____________________________
Mr Justice Ribeiro PJ:
1. We are satisfied that leave should be granted on the ground that questions of great general or public importance arise on the appeal concerning:
(a) the correct approach in law to deciding whether a person should be allowed to act as guardian ad litem with a view to protecting the interests of a person sued as defendant, who is alleged to be a mentally incapacitated person; and
(b) the appropriateness of permitting the plaintiff in such cases to oppose such intervention by the proposed guardian ad litem.
2. The appeal will be heard on 12 June 2015.
