- Court of Appeal
The High Court correctly struck out the applicant's judicial review under r 15.1(1)(c) and (d) because the application was frivolous, vexatious and an abuse of process: there was no urgency justifying without‑notice filing, the Family Court judge properly directed the matters proceed on notice under r 416J, and the applicant's filing sought to gain an unfair advantage by avoiding service.
