The summons to convert the originating summons to a writ (or to permit oral evidence and cross-examination) is refused because the principal contentions are matters of law or do not disclose genuine, substantial disputes of fact central to the OS that require conversion; the Plaintiffs have not met the high threshold to impugn the liquidators' conduct; and allowing conversion would cause disproportionate and prejudicial delay given the age and multiplicity of related proceedings.
