The court refused the case-management stay and declined to give expedited trial directions because the balance of convenience, fairness and efficient use of resources favoured continuation: most defendants do not have the JR as their sole defence, private-law issues must be pleaded now to avoid delay and res judicata problems, and defendants may seek injunctive relief or postponement in the High Court if appropriate; consequently the stay application failed and no fast-track trial dates were fixed.
