The court found the plaintiff had instituted multiple separate defamation actions as part of a deliberate tactic to obtain collateral advantages and to aggravate defendants' and Heath's costs to coerce settlement, amounting to an abuse of process; because there remained a prima facie cause of action and the proceedings could be put on a proper track, the correct remedy was to stay the seven actions (save for applying for consolidation) rather than dismiss them, and to order immediate payment of defendants' costs.
