Abayomi v CIFAS [2024] EWHC 3060 (KB) (29 November 2024)

The claims and appeals brought by Mr Abayomi against KCL and CIFAS were struck out as totally without merit because they failed to disclose reasonable grounds, were procedurally abusive, and did not meet the legal requirements for the causes of action pleaded. The court found repeated meritless applications and conduct justifying the imposition of a General Civil Restraint Order. Applications for adjournment on health grounds were refused due to insufficient medical evidence. Permission to appeal was refused as there was no real prospect of success.
