The court must give effect to the parties' Agreement by ordering that, failing agreement within the prescribed time, the quantum of the Plaintiffs' claim together with interest be referred to the Registrar (assisted if necessary by an assessor) for assessment; a reference to the Registrar requires a court order under O 75 r 41(1), and remitting the issue to the Registrar to decide whether to fiat the Agreement would conflict with the objectives of O 1A r 1, therefore the court makes the referral and sets a date before which the reference shall not be made.
