The Originating Summons was struck out as an abuse of process because it sought to relitigate the same facts, issues and relief already raised in the extant 2017 Action between the same parties; the subsequent criminal conviction of the alleged forger did not justify commencing fresh proceedings while the earlier action remained on foot and could have been used to seek appropriate relief in that action; costs awarded to the defendant.
