Rule 23.12 Applications that are totally without meritF1F3
If the court dismisses an application F2(including an application for permission to appeal or for permission to apply for judicial review) and it considers that the application is totally without merit—
the court’s order must record that fact; and
the court must at the same time consider whether it is appropriate to make a civil restraint order.
