The Court of Appeal affirmed the High Court: the present suit seeks to relitigate the same contract and facts that formed the foundation of the earlier suit, the claims could and should have been raised earlier, and therefore are barred by res judicata/estoppel and constitute an abuse of the court's process; striking out under Order 18 r.19 was proper as the claim was plainly unsustainable.
