Court of Appeal upholds the High Court's decision to dismiss a barrister's claim against a solicitor as an abuse of process, affirming that the issues had already been conclusively determined in prior proceedings, where rhe original court had found the barrister's action to be a collateral attack on costs orders and judgment mortgages that were final and conclusive, leading to the dismissal of her claim; but the Court sets aside an Isaac Wunder order that restrained the barrister from instituting any further High Court proceedings without prior leave, due to a lack of opportunity for the barrister to be heard on the matter.
