Adam Hughes & Ors v World Rugby Limited & Ors
Findings of default are not a legal precondition for making unless orders; the judge acted within his wide case management discretion in imposing general unless orders to ensure compliance with disclosure obligations in large-scale multi-party litigation; the orders were proportionate, lawful, and rationally connected to the legitimate aim of progressing litigation and ensuring fair lead claimant selection; extension of time for appeal was refused due to significant delay and lack of good reason; permission to appeal was refused as grounds lacked merit.
