Re Skyring

The applicant in the matter sought leave to institute proceedings under the Vexatious Litigants Proceedings Act 2005 (Qld), after being declared a vexatious litigant. The court considered several applications, including rectifying an error of law in an earlier case, setting aside the order categorising him as a vexatious litigant, seeking intervention from the Attorney-General, claiming compensation for anguish and suffering, and seeking judicial review of a conviction for a speeding fine. The court was required to determine whether each of these proposed applications would be considered vexatious.

The court found that the applicant’s proposed applications were vexatious. The court observed that the applicant had been declared a vexatious litigant for a reason, and that each of the proposed applications was an abuse of process. The court considered that the applicant had an extensive history of making numerous vexatious applications, and that each of the proposed applications was without merit. The court found that the applicant’s conduct was vexatious and oppressive, and that it would be in the interests of justice to refuse the application.

In light of the findings, the court refused the application. The court found that the applicant had failed to demonstrate that any of the proposed applications had any reasonable prospect of success, and that each of the applications was an abuse of process. The court considered that the applicant’s conduct was vexatious and oppressive, and that it would be in the interests of justice to refuse the application. The court made no orders in relation to the applicant’s proposed applications.
