BOR, R (On the Application Of) v Family Court at Cardiff [2026] EWHC 960 (Admin) (23 April 2026)
The High Court made a three-year Extended Civil Restraint Order against BOR after finding she had persistently issued totally without merit claims and applications.
The claimant has persistently issued claims and applications which are totally without merit, has been warned multiple times, and continues to demonstrate an irrational refusal to accept adverse decisions. There is a high risk of further meritless litigation against a wide range of parties. A general civil restraint order is necessary and proportionate to protect the court's process and other parties from further abuse.

His Majesty's Attorney General for England and Wales v Hardy [2024] EWHC 3306 (Admin) (19 December 2024)
The High Court made a three-year all proceedings order against Mr Hardy under section 42, with Vaidya terms and costs awarded to the Attorney General.
Mr Hardy has habitually and persistently and without reasonable ground instituted vexatious civil proceedings, made vexatious applications, and instituted vexatious prosecutions. The cumulative effect of his litigation conduct justifies the making of an all proceedings order under section 42 of the Senior Courts Act 1981, including Vaidya terms, for a period of three years. The order is proportionate, does not infringe the essence of his Article 6 rights, and bankruptcy proceedings are within the scope of section 42.
