A court that has granted leave to appeal may rescind that grant if it later appears, in light of further information or argument, that leave should not have been granted. The Court of Appeal's inherent jurisdiction to vary orders arising from a slip or omission extends to substituting the correct form of order (dismissal of appeal) where the Court had already determined the merits but made the wrong form of order due to an administrative error. The principle in Grierson v The King (one appeal only) does not prevent such correction.
