A respondent to an application by the Attorney General for a vexatious litigant order asserted that the Attorney-General had not instructed the Treasury Solicitor to act in this case.
Held: The Attorney-General and Treasury solicitor in this case were as client and solicitor, and proper instruction should be presumed. If the respondent did bring evidence, which was absent in this case, of such a lack, then there would be a requirement to give an explanation. Without such evidence, no explanation should be required.
