The court admitted the PRC criminal judgment only for the statements or reported statements of factual evidence before the PRC court that are relevant to issues in the present civil trial, rejecting use of the PRC court's conclusions as binding on issues that the civil trial judge must determine; the adjournment was dismissed for lack of evidential foundation; leave to re-amend the 2nd defendant's defence was granted with strict time limits; paragraphs 31–33 of a witness statement were expunged for infringing the Hollington principle as applied to conclusions.
