Family Court Again

My son's father is taking me to court again, the fourth time in two years. This time it's because the school applications I posted to him apparently weren't received. Rather than tell me he hadn't received them, he applied for a enforcement order. Receiving the court papers was the first time I knew he hadn't got the documents. I know lots of people who have had problems with Royal Mail over lockdown so I can't help but think this is just totally malicious and overkill.

I have now sent them recorded delivery so I know they have arrived. I have asked him to withdraw his application but he is refusing and is seeking costs against me. I am utterly exhausted and traumatised by repeated court applications. Is there any way of asking the court to throw this application out given that he has the information now and it wont do any good to anyone to pursue this? Does anyone know how I'd go about trying to do this and what the prospects are? Thanks

You can ask the court to make an order preventing him from making further applications without the court's permission.

It's called a section 91(14)

^^ This. Section 91(14) of the Children Act 1989.

Thanks for replying - this is really helpful. Do you know if the Section 91 (14) also can stop proceedings before they have started if the judge thinks it's reasonable? Or do have to go to court before the judge might consider preventing further applications?
