The appeal is dismissed because the Calcutta judgments finally and conclusively adjudicated the bank's obligation under the letter of credit between the same parties on the same issue, giving rise to issue/cause estoppel so that the Hong Kong proceedings are an abuse of process; allegations of fraud were not supported to a prima facie standard and factual errors relied on were immaterial to the res judicata bar.
