The Registrar ordered a split trial: liability issues to be tried first and, if liability established, assessment of damages or account of profits to follow (excluding the plaintiff's defamation claim which will not be split). The order was justified by the presence of alternative remedies, the need for discovery limited to liability issues to enable an informed election, considerations of proportionality under Order 1A, and the saving of costs and burden on defendants despite plaintiffs not filing affidavit quantifying savings.
