Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant and first respondent are estranged spouses embroiled in divorce and property disputes. The applicant sought a decree of perpetual silence against the respondents, alleging they had filed 24 frivolous and vexatious cases against him, causing him financial and psychological harm. The respondents denied this, and the court found the applicant had misled the court by including cases he himself had instituted.
