The applicant brought an urgent application for judicial review regarding his daughter's denial of a place in a high school film program.
The applicant, acting as litigation guardian, was a suspended lawyer and sought to represent his daughter without retaining counsel.
The Divisional Court dismissed the application on a preliminary issue, holding that under Rule 7.05(3) of the Rules of Civil Procedure, a litigation guardian must be represented by a lawyer, and the court has no authority to relieve against this strict requirement.
