The appeal was dismissed and the strike-out order upheld because the claimant's pleading against the Ombudsman failed to disclose a reasonable cause of action, contained factual assertions contradicted by the record, asserted serious allegations (eg bribery) without particulars, lacked any causal link between the Ombudsman's conduct and the claimed losses, and the Ombudsman lacked jurisdiction to adjudicate the regulatory matters raised; the defects were incurable and the claim was an abuse of process, warranting strike-out and an adverse costs order.
