The Court of Appeal dismissed the appellant's challenge to an order restraining her from initiating further proceedings without court permission, affirming the High Court's earlier decision to dismiss her underlying claims as bound to fail and an abuse of process. The Court determined that the appellant's arguments for an alternative costs order, based on alleged public interest issues, were unfounded as the appeal did not raise any point of law of general public importance. Consequently, the respondents were awarded their costs of the appeal, including all reserved costs, with the Court confirming that the usual rule—costs follow the event—applied.
