An application for leave to institute proceedings under s 11 of the Vexatious Proceedings Act 2005 (Qld) will be dismissed under s 12(1)(b) where the proposed notice of appeal contains only broad conclusory allegations without identifying any particular error in the primary judge's reasons, even where allowance is made for the applicant being self-represented and from a non-English speaking background. Minor errors in the s 11(3) affidavit (such as incorrect references to subsections or assertions that reasons were not given when they were delivered orally) may be treated as insubstantial and not fatal to compliance.
