The Consolidated Statement of Claim having been dispensed with, defences prepared in response to it are ineffective; defendants therefore have not validly filed defences and must apply to file and serve defences out of time. The correct sequence is plaintiffs may apply to amend Statements of Claim first, time for defences is suspended pending that application, and specific case management directions follow to rectify the procedural confusion. Costs for the applications are to be no order as to costs due to mutual misunderstanding.
