Paragraph 1(c) of the Master's order was set aside because the pleadings did not raise issues of established or specialised professional practice requiring expert assistance; the matters pleaded were factual and legal issues the court could decide without expert evidence. Leave to adduce expert evidence was confined to the specialised question whether designation of the USA in a PCT application ordinarily indicates an intention to pursue a US national phase application.
