In the legal case Quach v Daly [2024] QCA 221, the Supreme Court of Queensland Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal filed by Dr. Michael Van Thanh Quach. Quach, the appellant, challenged interlocutory orders that dismissed his claim, arguing errors in procedure and jurisdictional overreach. The appellant, representing himself, asserted that the primary judge wrongly struck out his claims without a jurisdictional basis. The Court of Appeal, comprising Mullins P, Boddice JA, and Crow J, determined that Quach's arguments, including his misunderstanding of "res judicata" and procedural law, were unfounded. The appellant repeatedly failed to adequately plead a cause of action, leading to the court's decision to restrict further proceedings against the respondents without permission from a Supreme Court judge. The court concluded there was no basis to overturn the primary judge's decision, and the appeal was dismissed with costs awarded to the respondents.
