Woolf v Brandt (No 3)

In *Woolf v Brandt (No 3)*, the applicant, Woolf, sought to have the Court of Appeal set aside or vary orders previously made by the court on 30 November 2023. The application was brought under rule 36.16(3A) of the Uniform Civil Procedure Rules.

The central legal issue before the Court of Appeal was whether the applicant had established a sufficient basis to warrant setting aside or varying the earlier orders. This involved considering whether the applicant's failure to comply with directions regarding the length of written submissions constituted grounds for re-opening the matter, and whether the applicant was attempting to re-agitate issues already determined by the court.

The Court of Appeal found that the applicant had not established any basis for re-opening the orders. The court determined that the failure to comply with the directions as to the length of written submissions did not provide a sufficient reason to set aside or vary the existing orders. Consequently, the applicant's motion was dismissed.
