Gives facts of, and comments upon, "Perkins and another v Devoran Joinery Co Ltd and others" ([2006] EWHC 582 QB, unreported).The issue was whether P could commence a second set of proceedings against D in respect of defective windows at P's home, or whether it was an abuse of the court process to relitigate a question that had already been decided. It was held that as new facts and an expert's report had now come to light, it would be wrong to deprive P of the opportunity of having their new claims tested in court.
