The court found that the issues raised in the present suit were directly and substantially the same as those litigated in previous cases between the same parties, all concerning the ownership and entitlement to land parcel Bokoli/Chwele/1070. The court analyzed the prior suits and determined that the parties, subject matter, and issues were identical or substantially similar, and that the previous cases had been heard and determined by courts of competent jurisdiction. The court held that the doctrine of res judicata applied, barring the present suit from being heard again. Furthermore, the court found that the continued litigation over the same subject matter constituted an abuse of the court process. Accordingly, the court allowed the application to strike out the suit as res judicata and vexatious, with costs to the applicant.
