Woolf v Brandt (No 4)

In *Woolf v Brandt (No 4)*, the applicant sought to set aside or vary orders made by the Court of Appeal. The application was brought under rule 36.16(3A) of the Uniform Civil Procedure Rules (UCPR).

The central legal issue before the Court of Appeal was whether the applicant had established a sufficient basis to reagitate issues that had already been determined by the court. The court was required to consider whether the second application constituted an abuse of process.

The Court of Appeal reasoned that the applicant had not provided any new material or demonstrated any error in the previous decisions that would justify re-opening the matter. The court found that the application was vexatious and an abuse of process, as it sought to relitigate decided issues without any proper legal foundation.

Consequently, the Court of Appeal dismissed the applicant's motion, made no order as to the costs of the motion, and vacated the hearing before the Registrar scheduled for 11 March 2024.
