The moving parties, who were previously declared vexatious litigants, brought multiple motions within an appeal seeking broad procedural and substantive relief.
The motions were brought without obtaining leave from a Superior Court judge, as required by the vexatious litigant order.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the motions, holding that while a vexatious litigant order can be appealed without leave, any motions brought within that appeal proceeding still require leave.
