The application was dismissed because the plaintiff and its solicitors materially misled the court by relying on and failing to disclose that the professional valuation adopted a 'loss of title deeds' basis without any evidential foundation or explanation; that omission and the solicitor's conduct breached the paramount duty not to mislead the court and constituted a material abuse of process warranting dismissal and refusal to grant leave for judgment or an order for sale.
