The Court held the damages actions were an abuse of process under the Henderson v Henderson principle because the constitutional challenge to regulations could and should have been advanced in the earlier judicial review proceedings; public interests in finality of litigation and proper administration of public disciplinary processes outweigh the plaintiffs' interests in relitigation, therefore the Judge's strike out was upheld.
