The Court of Appeal dismisses an appeal by two company directors challenging the imposition of "Isaac Wunder" orders, which had been granted by the High Court to prevent them from initiating further unmeritorious legal actions, whereby the appellants had engaged in a prolonged campaign of litigation against a liquidator and Dublin City Council following the winding-up of their company due to unpaid local authority rates, on the grounds that the orders are necessary to protect the respondents from continued abusive and costly litigation.
