The appellants sought to set aside an order requiring them to pay security for costs of their appeal.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the motion as frivolous, vexatious, and an abuse of process.
The court imposed restrictions on future motions by the appellants, requiring leave of a judge and satisfaction of all outstanding costs orders before any further motions could be brought.
The decision reflects the court's response to a prolonged pattern of litigation among nine siblings over their late father's estate, which had resulted in multiple prior appellate decisions, contempt findings, and substantial unpaid costs orders.
