Woodhouse v Consignia plc
[2002] EWCA Civ 275; [2002] 1 WLR 2558
Key Principle
A second application for the same relief is not automatically an abuse of process; the Henderson v Henderson principle requires a broad merits-based judgment, and the failure to deploy at a first application material that was then available is not necessarily fatal to a renewed application but may be reflected in costs.
