Leave to discontinue the counterclaim was refused because the counterclaim and the 2012 Action involved the same parties and cause of action, the counterclaim had already progressed and any alleged defect could be remedied by amendment, clause 11 did not require prior written notice, and permitting discontinuance would cause duplication, waste judicial resources and be contrary to case management principles; consequently the 2012 Action was struck out.
