- HCA2343/1966
The court held that a commercial list exists and, exercising its inherent jurisdiction and the discretion under O.72 r.10 in light of the special nature of marine insurance (uberrimae fidei) and the factual circumstances (delay, survey results and alleged inconsistent statements), it was appropriate to transfer the case to the commercial list and grant the defendants' application for extended discovery; no separate O.24 r.7 order was necessary.
