- LORD JUSTICE KAY: This is an application to set aside an order of Master Venne dated 27th September 2000 in which he ordered that unless the applicant filed bundles in proper form at the Civil Appeals Office within 14 days his application for permission to appeal should be dismissed. The appeal he was seeking to bring was an appeal against the decision of Sullivan J on 26th June 2000 in which he declines to set aside an earlier decision of Gibbs J on 5th May 2000.
- The applicant has come today and has told me that so far as pursuing his action against the then fourth defendant, with whom those matters are concerned, he would himself recognise that there is little point taking that aspect of the matter further. In those circumstances, all I can do, and all I do do, is to dismiss his application to set aside the decision of Master Venne. No other matter is listed before the Court. I am in no position to consider any other aspect of the proceedings that he has brought.
