Bedzhamov & Ors Re Vneshprombank LLC

The application for a further extension is unreasonable given the factual history, prior extension, and lack of promptness. The first defendant and his advisers were aware of the scale of the task for nearly two months, and the legal team remained engaged. Granting a further extension would create undesirable uncertainty and prejudice to the claimant.
