Price and Another v Nunn: ChD 11 May 2012

Applications were made to strike out parts of a Defence and Counterclaim. The relevant parts of this pleading assert the existence of a private right of way, or a public right of way, in either case with or without vehicles, over certain land owned by the Claimants. The Claimants say that there is a cause of action estoppel, or an issue estoppel, arising from two sets of earlier proceedings, binding on the Defendant, which prevents the Defendant putting forward these contentions. Alternatively, the Claimants say that the relevant averments in the Defence and Counterclaim involve an abuse of the process of the court.
