Senna v Henderson & Ors [2021] EWHC 453 (QB) (09 March 2021)

The claims are struck out as an abuse of process under CPR r 3.4(2)(b) due to the claimant's serious misconduct, including threats, attempts to bribe a witness, repeated meritless applications, and non-compliance with court orders. The particulars of claim are incoherent, fail to disclose any reasonable cause of action, and summary judgment is appropriate as there is no real prospect of success.
