    Court of First Instance

    HCB6118/2023

    The summonses were dismissed and the adjournment refused because the applications were made very late without credible explanation, the Petitioner would suffer substantial prejudice from late evidence, the new evidence was of little probative value and raised credibility concerns, the Debtor had ample time and legal representation to present relevant evidence earlier, and there was no real prospect that further time would enable the Debtor to establish that the Petitioner’s security covered the petitioning debt; indemnity costs were ordered due to the dilatory conduct.
