Gulf View Medical Centre Ltd (Appellant) v Goetz (Respondent) (Trinidad and Tobago) JCPC 2019/0011	Lady Hale Lord Hodge Lord Kitchin	Refused 12 June 2019	Permission to appea1 be refused. Whether the application or order approach applies to appeals as of right to the Judicial Committee is as yet unresolved. However, even if there is an appeal as of right in this case, the proposed appeal is so lacking in merit that the Board declines to give permission.
In the following cases, the advice which the Board proposes to give to Her Majesty is as indicated below
The Queen v Vasyli (Appellant) (Bahamas) JCPC 2018/0018	Lady Hale Lord Hodge Lord Kitchin	Allowed 12 June 2019 Cross-appeal Refused 12 June 2019	1) the appeal should be allowed to proceed since, on the material provided, the case does not fall within the strict criteria for setting leave aside 2)permission to cross-appeal should be refused because the grounds for cross-appealing have not been made out”.
