The High Court dismissed the application. The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal based on inter -alia the ground that as the terms of the consent order are not entirely identical to the reliefs sought in the initial action, the consent order went beyond the scope of the action and therefore a fresh and independent action (Originating Summons in this case) was necessary.
