Court of Appeal dismisses an appeal against the High Court's decision to grant an Isaac Wunder order, which restricts the appellants from initiating new legal proceedings without prior leave of the High Court against certain parties, including a bank and receivers. The appellants had a history of engaging in litigation, including the forgery of documents to circumvent a compromise agreement with the bank. The High Court's order was consistent with the appellants' own stated intention not to initiate new proceedings, and the Court of Appeal found no grounds to overturn the decision. The order does not prevent the appellants from defending existing claims or from seeking leave to initiate new proceedings if they can demonstrate a bona fide cause of action.
