Saje v Union for Progressive Judaism Inc. and Ors (No.3)

The applicant, Saje, sought interlocutory orders against the respondents, the Union for Progressive Judaism Inc. and others, to prevent the filing of further documents and to strike out documents already filed by the respondents. The application was heard by Judge Street.

The central legal issue before the court was whether the applicant had established grounds for the extraordinary orders sought, specifically concerning the exclusion of further filings and the striking out of existing documents from the court's record.

Judge Street dismissed the application, finding that the applicant had not demonstrated the necessary legal basis to justify such severe interlocutory relief. The court applied the principles governing the exercise of its discretion to grant orders that effectively prevent a party from participating in proceedings or that remove their filed documents, requiring a high threshold of proof and compelling justification, which was not met in this instance.
