    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMP2013/2016

    The court exercised its discretion, permitting expert handwriting evidence in respect of the five documents in the summons alleged to bear the 1st defendant's signature because there is a live dispute of forgery that expert opinion could materially assist; refusing it for LRMJ 7 and LRMJ 28 as disproportionate or unlikely to assist given the evidence; and adjourning the application for LRMJ 29 and LRMJ 37 sine die to allow defendants time to respond as those documents were raised later.
