The 2nd Defendant's summary application to dismiss/strike out was dismissed because the central issue of the donor's mental capacity at execution of the EPA is hotly contested and requires a full trial with medical evidence; the plaintiff's application to withdraw was refused in favour of adjourning the present action sine die with liberty to restore pending determination of the defendant's appeal (CACV 162/2015) to avoid prejudice and duplicity of proceedings; costs ordered accordingly.
