- HCMP1040/2018
The application to bring forward the substantive determination of HCMP 1040/2018 was dismissed because there was no real change of circumstances warranting variation of the prior early‑trial directions; the amended s.570 claim was not clearly unanswerable without regard to AGPL's linked claims (pre‑emptive right and unfair prejudice), the risk of unfair prejudice and the proximity of the scheduled consolidated trial meant the balance favored maintaining the status quo; accordingly summary determination was inappropriate and the application failed.
