High Court refuses the plaintiffs' request for an interlocutory injunction to halt the enforcement of a demolition order for an unauthorised development, and dismissed their claim to set aside previous court orders. The plaintiffs sought to challenge the validity of the demolition order based on new evidence suggesting irregularities in the planning permission process. However, the court found that the new evidence did not affect the legality of the original court orders, which were not directly concerned with the validity of the planning decisions. The plaintiffs' claim was deemed frivolous, vexatious, and an abuse of process, as it attempted to circumvent statutory provisions for challenging planning decisions and re-litigate matters that could have been raised in earlier proceedings.
