The claims were struck out because, as a matter of law, litigants and their legal representatives owe no duty to adversaries regarding the conduct of litigation and government counsel owe no higher duty; the defendant’s procedural acts (acknowledgement of service, strike out proceedings, and seeking taxation under O 62 rr 10 and 21(4)) were lawful and authorised by the Rules; accordingly the plaintiff’s causes of action disclosed no reasonable prospect of success and were frivolous or vexatious.
