The plaintiff's present claim is barred by res judicata because the licence claim is in substance the same matter that was or could have been litigated in the earlier action; relabelling the cause of action does not avoid estoppel, no special circumstances justified re‑opening, and both the plaintiff's claim and the defence are therefore barred accordingly.
