Regina (Coke-Wallis) v Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales [2011] UKSC 1 ; [2011] WLR (D) 3

“The principles of cause of action estoppel applied to successive complaints before a professional disciplinary body. Whether, and in what circumstances, a public interest exception should be recognised to the strict application of those principles in the disciplinary context was a matter for Parliament not the courts.”
