In addition, the Applicant asserted numerous other causes of action in, inter alia, misrepresentation, fraud, conspiracy and formulation of evidence.
The Applicant's second action was also dismissed. The Applicant's subsequent motions and appeals requesting extensions of time and the setting aside of previous orders were all dismissed. The Applicant seeks leave to appeal.
