The court exercised its case management power to permit affidavits/affirmations filed by the Secretary for Justice to stand as the evidence in chief on the condition that deponents attend trial for cross-examination and subject to the trial judge's power to require oral evidence in whole or in part; this was justified because the direction advances efficient administration without causing demonstrated real prejudice to respondents and preserves their cross-examination rights.
