Right of Registrar of Companies to execute a costs order affirmed

The Court of Appeal has dismissed an appeal from the High Court, and affirmed a decision granting the Registrar of Companies leave to execute a costs order against the appellant, who had challenged the striking off and dissolution of a company. The High Court's original decision, which denied the appellant's judicial review and awarded costs to the respondent, was affirmed by the Court of Appeal after the appellant's subsequent appeals and applications were unsuccessful. The appellant's attempts to impugn previous judgments on the grounds of alleged human rights breaches were not entertained, as the only justiciable matter was the respondent's application for leave to execute the costs order. The appellant's request to revisit the High Court's judgment was also denied, with the Court of Appeal finding no strong reasons to amend the judgment and concluding that the appellant's remedy lay in an appeal.
