The Court dismissed the appeal because the proposed causes of action were wholly untenable and had no prospect of success, and, applying s 119, it would not be fair to vest the disclaimed litigation rights in Mr Burgess given the merits, the delay, prejudice to proposed defendants and the need to preserve the integrity of the court process.
