The statement of claim was struck out because it disclosed no reasonably arguable cause of action, was non-justiciable insofar as it sought to convert complex technical and policy questions into criminal and judicial-review causes without identifying discrete decisions or decision-makers, impermissibly attempted to litigate criminal matters in civil proceedings, contained prolix and irrelevant allegations and sought relief beyond the Court's power, and was likely to cause prejudice and delay.
