- HCPI254/2006
The alleged compromise agreement of 6 January 2006 sought to limit the defendant's liability under Clause 17 and therefore constituted a liability issue that should have been raised at the liability trial; it is too late to introduce that inconsistent case post-trial, so the amendment (paragraph 26C(ix)) is disallowed and the defendant may not rely on the alleged compromise; limited discovery ordered with timetable and other discovery adjourned sine die.
