The trial was adjourned because the case was not ready: parties must identify and select relevant parts of the criminal-trial evidence (including producing agreed facts or a Scott schedule), properly manage expert evidence through reports and a joint expert process to determine necessity of oral evidence, and plaintiffs must apply for leave to amend the statement of claim by the specified deadline or be debarred; interim directions for a return to the PI judge and a directions hearing were ordered and costs were apportioned accordingly.
