The statement of claim failed to disclose a reasonable cause of action because it did not plead how the respondent's alleged negligence caused psychiatric or other damage, lacked the medical evidence required for a psychiatric personal injury claim, and was therefore frivolous/vexatious and an abuse of process; the application to adduce new evidence on appeal failed to meet the criteria, so the appeal is dismissed and costs awarded to the respondent on an indemnity basis.
