New South Wales Bar Association v LI

The parties involved in this case are the New South Wales Bar Association and an individual, LI. The dispute centres around the Bar Association's application to strike out certain claims made by LI and to amend the pleadings in the proceedings. The case was heard in the Supreme Court of New South Wales.

The court had to address several legal issues, including whether the claims made by LI were legally sustainable and whether the Bar Association's application to amend the pleadings was justified. The court also needed to determine if the claims made by LI were frivolous or vexatious, which could have implications for costs.

In its reasoning, the court found that the claims made by LI were not legally sustainable and were, in fact, frivolous and vexatious. The court granted the Bar Association's application to strike out those claims and to amend the pleadings. The court noted that the proceedings had been protracted and costly, and that LI's claims had no reasonable prospect of success. The court also ordered that LI pay the Bar Association's costs of the application.

The final orders of the court included the striking out of certain claims made by LI, the amendment of the pleadings, and the direction that LI pay the Bar Association's costs of the application. The matter was listed for further directions, with the parties encouraged to agree on those directions before the next court date.
