- HCCW218/2017
The summons to stay the Counterclaim was dismissed because the question was primarily one of case management: the Counterclaim could proceed in other proceedings and need not be stayed pending resolution of the Petition and HCA; however, given the potential impact of findings on the principal issue upon the derivative action, the court ordered a split trial (try principal issues first, counterclaim later), synchronised timetables and further case management to adjust directions as necessary.
