The High Court has refused all interlocutory reliefs sought by the plaintiff, including declarations that the Courts Act 1924 had not been validly commenced, rendering all court orders void. The plaintiff's attempt to challenge the jurisdiction was dismissed as unstatable and without merit, echoing previous rejections by the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeal. The plaintiff's claim of new evidence regarding the Act's commencement was also rejected, with the court finding no legal basis to revisit the issue. Additionally, the court found no merit in the plaintiff's request for a referral to the Court of Justice of the European Union, as no substantive issue of EU law was raised.
