    The court refused the plaintiff's application to restore proceedings because the disputes disclose substantial and arguable public law issues suitable for possible judicial review and a holistic case-management approach. Allowing the plaintiff to resume piecemeal litigation based on the current state of pleadings would cause duplication, prejudice vulnerable residents, and defeat the objectives of Order 1A (Rule 2(2)). Therefore the application to resume was dismissed and further procedural directions (including consultation on legal aid and coordinated case management) were ordered.
