Quick Take

A person subject to a vexatious proceedings order may apply under s 9(2)(a) of the Vexatious Proceedings Act 2008 (NSW) without leave, but such an application cannot be used as a de facto appeal and requires a material change of circumstances or new material, with the jurisdiction to be exercised conservatively especially after entry of orders.
