Claims duplicating the Labour Tribunal's final determination on termination are barred by res judicata and abuse of process; the pleaded defamation claims cannot succeed because relevant statements are covered by absolute or qualified privilege and the plaintiff has not pleaded or evidenced malice; most claims are time-barred by the six-year limitation period; consequently the statements of claim in Actions A, B, D, E and F are struck out (Action C previously struck out) and a Restricted Proceedings Order is justified to prevent further abuse of the court process.
