In this case, the applicant, ABK, sought leave to appeal a decision by the Supreme Court of Queensland made by Justice Applegarth on 28 March 2024. The original order refused ABK leave to commence similar proceedings against the State of Queensland and Allianz Australia Insurance Limited without prior court approval, based on rule 389A of the Uniform Civil Procedure Rules 1999 (Qld). ABK's appeal was considered by Mullins P, who determined that the appeal was meritless and an abuse of process. There were issues with ABK's understanding and use of court proceedings, with concerns largely framed around his mental health treatment rather than addressing the specifics required for the appeal. Consequently, the Court of Appeal denied the application for leave to appeal, upholding Justice Applegarth's order to prevent unnecessary legal costs and court misuse.
