The appellant commenced an action in Small Claims Court against the respondent business bureau for libel and breach of contract, which was dismissed after trial.
The appellant subsequently commenced multiple separate actions against the business bureau, its employees, and its legal counsel.
A Deputy Judge struck these subsequent actions under Rule 12.02 of the Rules of the Small Claims Court based on cause of action estoppel.
The appellant appealed.
The Divisional Court dismissed the appeal, finding no error in the Deputy Judge's application of the doctrine of cause of action estoppel or Rule 12.02.
