This is an appeal by Mrs Mortimer against a two-year general civil restraint order made by His Honour Judge Griggs on 14 January 2008, which prevented her issuing claims or applications in the High Court or Devon and Cornwall county courts without prior permission. The appeal was treated as academic after the restraint order expired on 14 January 2010, Mrs Mortimer did not attend or prosecute the appeal, and the Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal summarily.
