- Case number
- HCMP2867/2012
The court dismissed the defendant’s striking out summons and ordered consolidation of HCA 673/2013 with HCMP 2867/2012 because on the evidence at that stage there was insufficient proof of abuse of process by the plaintiff; the plaintiff had not manifestly anticipated the factual disputes when issuing the originating summons, proposed consolidation, and it was appropriate to order consolidation and directions for consolidated pleadings rather than striking out the originating summons.
