Court of Appeal allows an appeal, dismissing an action against a manufacturing company on the basis that the claims were already settled by a previous agreement, and has also granted an order to prevent the plaintiff from issuing further proceedings without the High Court President's leave. The original High Court decision, which had allowed the case to proceed to trial, was overturned after the Court found that the claims were indeed encompassed by a 2018 settlement agreement, rendering the action bound to fail. Additionally, the Court recognised a pattern of vexatious litigation by the plaintiff, justifying the imposition of a restriction on the plaintiff's ability to bring future proceedings.
