Ibrahim v The Honourable Justice Carolyn Martin

The plaintiff in this matter sought an order for the defendant to be investigated by police or stand trial for alleged criminal offences. The defendant, a judge of the Supreme Court of Queensland, applied for the summary dismissal of the plaintiff's application on the basis that there was no arguable case. The court was required to determine whether the plaintiff's application disclosed any arguable case against the defendant, and if not, whether the application should be summarily dismissed.

The court examined the facts and the law applicable to the case. The plaintiff argued that the defendant had committed contempt of court by failing to recuse herself from a case in which she had a conflict of interest. The court found that the plaintiff's application disclosed no arguable case against the defendant, as the plaintiff had failed to provide any evidence to support his allegations. The court held that the plaintiff had not demonstrated that the defendant had acted in a manner that amounted to contempt of court, and that the application was therefore frivolous and vexatious.

The court granted the defendant's application for summary dismissal and dismissed the proceedings. The court held that the plaintiff's application was an abuse of process and that there were no grounds upon which the court could grant the relief sought by the plaintiff. The court further held that the defendant was entitled to her costs of the application.
