The applicants brought a motion to quash the respondents' appeals from two procedural orders made by a case management judge in a multi-party vexatious litigation application.
The Court of Appeal determined that the orders in question, which subjected the application to case management, quashed summonses with leave to reapply, and left fraud allegations open for future determination, were purely interlocutory.
Consequently, the court lacked jurisdiction to entertain the appeals, and they were quashed with costs awarded to the applicants.
