The court refused to strike out the impugned pleadings because the defendants were not shown to be privies of the parties to the earlier proceedings, the earlier judgment related to different subject matter (200M shares) and did not finally determine the issues as to the 47M/99M shares here, and material handwriting evidence and deficiencies arising from the minimalist approach in the earlier trial justified allowing re-litigation and ordering discovery for handwriting examination.
