    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA2043/2012

    The court struck out the claim because the pleading disclosed no real prospect of success and was frivolous/abusive: defendant's third opinion was within professional standards and did not cause the alleged loss; the Legal Aid Department's decision lay with the Director and considered multiple inputs; moreover any cause of action vested in the trustee on the plaintiff's bankruptcy so the plaintiff lacked standing to pursue the claim.
