Cases

Hussein v William Hill

Comment

It is not common for a case to be struck out as an abuse of process under the principles set out in Wallis v Valentine, but where, as here, there is clear evidence that the Claimant's motivation was not to vindicate his reputation but rather to harass the Defendant and cause it unnecessary expense, the judge is entitled to manage the case proactively and with due regard to the overriding objectives. Tugendhat J went on to make an extended civil restraint order against the Claimant.
