The court granted the defendant's application under Order 18 r.19(1) because the issues in the plaintiff's civil suit were the same as those raised and effectively resolved by the consent Decree Nisi in the related family proceedings; therefore res judicata and abuse of process applied and the writ was properly struck out.

The court held the cause of action accrued on the date of death (1.6.2013) and s.2(a) PAPA's 36‑month limitation is mandatory; the writ filed on 25.1.2018 was therefore time‑barred. Additionally appellants lacked the statutory capacity (not being executors) and the minor appellant lacked a litigation representative, rendering the action unsustainable and properly struck out under Order 18 r.19(1).
