The appeal is dismissed because the District Court correctly concluded the proceeding was an abuse of process — in substance a collateral attack on a final Employment Court costs determination dressed in different causes of action — and that cumulative factors (relitigation, pattern of related proceedings, and disproportionality between costs and stakes) warranted striking out the claim.
