- DCCJ2454/2013
The summonses were dismissed because the defendant offered no satisfactory explanation for the late, last-minute applications which would disrupt and likely derail trial dates under the Civil Justice Reform; the striking out application lacked substance as the pleadings disclosed a prima facie cause of action and factual disputes were for trial; the discovery application was overbroad, largely irrelevant and previously refused in related proceedings and was also inappropriately late. Costs were awarded on an indemnity basis.
