The Court of Appeal has refused an application to vary or rescind its final judgment in a defamation case, affirming the High Court's dismissal of the action against the Legal Aid Board. The appellant's dissatisfaction with the judgment did not meet the high threshold for review, which requires showing that the judgment denies justice and breaches constitutional rights. The Court corrected minor errors in the judgment but found no substantive grounds to justify a review.
