The counterclaim for medical negligence was struck out because it is properly pursued in the PI List, would require distinct practice, procedure and expert evidence that would embarrass or delay the straightforward debt recovery, and equitable set-off was doubtful; accordingly the counterclaim should be disposed of separately and is struck out without prejudice to starting a separate PI List action.
