Key Principle

Maintaining substantially overlapping concurrent actions arising out of the same subject matter can amount to an abuse of the court's process under the Henderson v Henderson principle, and the court will distinguish the bringing of two actions against the same defendant for the same cause of action from two overlapping actions involving different defendants or causes of action when deciding whether to strike out for abuse.
