The High Court dismissed an application to set aside a previous High Court judge's decision, emphasizing the harm caused by unqualified litigation advisers. The plaintiffs, assisted by an unqualified adviser, sought to reverse a High Court decision rejecting their injunction application regarding a property, bypassing the Court of Appeal and making an unprecedented request to another High Court judge. The court highlighted the systemic issues and individual harm caused by such advisers, noting the plaintiffs' failure to provide factual evidence, refusal to accept judicial suggestions to amend their approach, and the pursuit of an unsustainable set-aside application. The court's decision underscores the importance of qualified legal representation and the need for finality in court proceedings.
