Court of Appeal dismisses an appeal brought by a solicitor against the High Court's decision rejecting her judicial review claim following her dismissal from employment, on the grounds that the solicitor's repeated refusal to accept court rulings, and her disruptive behavior, had prevented a fair hearing; and the court also affirms the High Court's award of legal costs on a legal practitioner and client basis to the respondents, citing the solicitor's conduct as a justification for marking disapproval.
