The strike-out summons raises a discrete question about the validity of Stephenson Harwood's retainer in light of prior written instructions to K&L Gates and authorisations to a third party; it did not justify a sprawling multi-day trial with widescale cross-examination. The court exercised case management by limiting further evidence without leave, ordering a half-day argument hearing to determine the strike-out issue, and staying the claims of the 1,072 plaintiffs pending the outcome of that summons.
