The court refused the case-management stay and declined expedited trial directions because the judicial review raises distinct public law issues that do not necessarily resolve the private law defences in the Regional Court; most defendants have private law defences they must plead now; the balance of convenience, fairness between parties and efficient use of court resources favor continuation of Regional Court procedures; uncertainty and prejudice to defendants made expedited trial inappropriate at this stage.
