Court of Appeal dismisses appeal against the High Court's decision, which had rejected a challenge to a costs adjudication related to a planning dispute. The appellant failed to demonstrate any error in the adjudicator's determination that would render it unjust, and the court found his appeal to be an impermissible attempt to re-litigate issues already conclusively determined by the High Court and the Court of Appeal. Consequently, the proceedings were deemed an abuse of process, and the appeal was dismissed with a provisional order for costs in favor of the second respondent.
