The court granted leave to expunge the Mainland judgment because Hollington v Hewthorn bars reliance on foreign convictions and judgments for the truth of their findings; the Plaintiffs sought to rely on the admissions recorded in the Mainland judgment for their truth despite D3 being unavailable for cross‑examination and the Mainland proceedings being unknown to the court, so admission would be inadmissible and prejudicial.
