Callow, J.
(dissenting)—I dissent. The subject matter, cause of action, persons and parties, and the quality of persons against whom the claim is made are in reality the same. The plaintiff had a full opportunity to present this claim in the prior action. The claims presented here properly belonged to the prior litigation and could have been brought forward then. Returning this action for trial permits parties to bring numerous actions when all claims could and should be combined in one, and encourages duplicitous litigation.
Petition for rehearing denied April 12, 1978.
Appealed to Supreme Court May 4, 1978.
