    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA851/2013

    The court found the documents filed by the plaintiff did not comply with the court's requirements for witness statements because they were not confined to the pleaded case and contained irrelevant and abusive material; accordingly the court made an unless order requiring the plaintiff to file proper witness statements by 8 September 2021 and barred the plaintiff from filing any witness statements in the absence of compliance, with a directions hearing fixed for 20 September 2021 and a warning that non-compliance would likely lead to dismissal of the claim.
