The statement of claim failed to disclose any reasonable cause of action and amounted to a collateral attack on prior determinations of the Guardianship Board and the High Court, constituting abuse of process; the appellant's appeal was out of time and no special reasons or permission justified it; the attempted introduction of new evidence failed the Ladd v Marshall requirements; accordingly the out‑of‑time appeal was refused and dismissed and costs were awarded to the respondent on an indemnity basis with summary assessment directions.
