- HCAL223/2020
Because the applicant was reported deceased and the cause of action had therefore terminated, the court exercised its discretion not to grant relief that would be otiose and dismissed the application for leave to apply for judicial review, applying the principle of abatement on death and authorities on refusing pointless remedies.
