The judge exercised the discretion under s.33A(3) to vary the earlier order and permit a trial before a bilingual judge with a jury because the action is suitable for jury determination, does not require prolonged examination or scientific/local investigation incompatible with a jury, and any prejudice from adjournment can be adequately addressed by costs; accordingly the existing trial fixture was vacated and new dates ordered with a seven‑day estimate.
