High Court dismisses the plaintiff's proceedings, which sought to challenge the registration of judgment mortgages against her property, as frivolous, vexatious, and an abuse of process, and finding that the plaintiff had no new legitimate basis to initiate these proceedings, given the conclusive determinations in earlier related litigation; and the court also awards costs against the plaintiff on a legal practitioner and own client basis, due to the serial abuse of the court system and baseless allegations made against the defendant and her legal team; and the court also determines the costs figure to be paid by the plaintiff to avoid further unnecessary proceedings, setting the amount at €72,500.00.
