Senior-Milne, R (on the application of) v HM Treasury (Rev 1) [2013] EWHC 1007 (Admin) (26 February 2013)

The claimant failed to comply with clear and valid court orders requiring a satisfactory explanation and medical evidence for his non-attendance; the orders were neither vague nor unenforceable, and the lack of a seal did not affect their validity. Dismissal of the claims was justified.
