An application to set aside a vexatious proceedings order under s 9 of the Vexatious Proceedings Act 2008 (NSW) requires the applicant to show plausible grounds for doing so; merely repeating assertions previously rejected by the courts is insufficient. An application for leave to institute proceedings under s 14 will be dismissed under s 15(1)(c) where no prima facie ground for the proceedings is shown. The question of the general circumstances in which a court might set aside a vexatious proceedings order under s 9 was expressly left open.
