Indulged in litigation unless there were some extraordinary unexceptionable

-    Once a judicial determination, be it of a point of fact or of a point of  law, has been made and if such a determination covers not only the ones litigating before the courts but some others also,  then the dictates of  justice would command that the benefits accruing from such a determination should not be restricted only to the litigating parties but should be extended even to those who had not indulged in litigation unless there were some extraordinary unexceptionable reasons to the contrary and that all powers, including the powers inherent in the courts be invoked for the purpose---Such would not only ensure justice for all but would also have the effect of eliminating unnecessary litigation.
