Macatangay v State of New South Wales

In *Macatangay v State of New South Wales*, the applicant sought leave to file a further application, but the Court of Appeal of New South Wales was also considering whether to make a vexatious proceedings order against the applicant. The underlying dispute concerned previous applications made by the applicant.

The primary legal issue before the Court was whether the applicant's proposed further application had any arguable merit, and consequently, whether the applicant had shown cause why a vexatious proceedings order should not be made against her. This involved assessing whether her repeated applications constituted an abuse of process.

The Court determined that the applicant's proposed application lacked any arguable point to support her complaint. Consequently, the Court dismissed the applicant's notice of motion seeking leave to file the further application. The Court also directed the applicant to file written submissions within 14 days, explaining why a vexatious proceedings order should not be made against her.
