(c) the application relates to a matter that is the subject of an application to a court or tribunal.

(4) Without limiting subsection (3)(a), an application is frivolous or vexatious if, at the time the application was made:

(a) another application under section 22 for an internal review of the same decision had been made by another person; and

(b) a decision has been made under section 26 on the other application or the other application has been rejected under subsection (2).
