However from the 'abuse of process' perspective perhaps we might have (1) Did the company, equally aware of the ticket's invalidity, misrepresent the ticket's validity to the passenger (due to a deliberate choice in its system design which was, we might assume, not explained to the passenger and not even documented by it anywhere in the public domain), such that the passenger was entitled to rely upon the company's false assertion of validity?; and (2) Had the company not done that, would the passenger not have travelled with that ticket such that there would have been no offence? Then (3) Would that amount to unfairness sufficient to demand a stay?
