A prior rejected divorce based on separation does not bar a new divorce claim for the same reason.

The court allowed the appellant to file a new divorce action based on the breakdown of the relationship, despite a previous rejection on identical grounds. The appellant argued that the earlier decision was merely a procedural dismissal regarding the specific separation period, not a substantive bar to future claims. The court held that a final rejection of a divorce request for separation does not prevent a subsequent suit for the same cause, provided the separation period has continued or the circumstances warrant a fresh assessment.
