The Supreme Court of Fiji is not 
a court in which decisions of the Court of Appeal will be routinely reviewed. The requirement for special leave is to be taken seriously. It will not be granted lightly. Too low a standard for its grant undermines the authority of the Court of Appeal and 
distract this court from its role as the final appellate body by burdening it with appeals that do not raise matters of general importance or principles or in the criminal jurisdiction, substantial and grave injustice.\'94}{\rtlch\fcs1 \ai\af0\afs24
