- HCA4225/2001
The court exercised case management discretion to order sequential trials (Winding-Up Petition first, Interstitial Action next, BPR Action last) rather than a combined trial because sequential trials minimize the real risk of losing reserved trial dates, reduce unmanageable complexity, and protect parties who are not ready for a full joint trial; to avoid repetition the court directed that relevant evidence from earlier trials shall stand as evidence in subsequent trials and granted limited leave for parties to participate in related trials.
