    Case number
    FCMC8759/2010

    The Summons was dismissed because the Respondent failed to justify the lateness and repeated an earlier refused attempt to file affirmations without any change of circumstances; the Respondent was legally represented for much of the period and had adequate opportunity to apply earlier; allowing the application would prejudice the Petitioner and undermine case management objectives under the Civil Justice Reform; accordingly leave to file affirmations was refused and costs awarded to the Petitioner.
