The court refused to stay the time for filing and service of the defence because it was necessary to determine whether other substantive defences exist and whether those defences are so intertwined with the authority issue that a preliminary trial would not materially differ from a full trial; instead the court ordered limited affidavit exchange, adjourned both summonses for substantive hearing to be heard together, and extended time to file the defence to 28 days.
