The appeal was allowed: the judge's order framing four preliminary issues was premature and inappropriate because the substantive issues had not been properly joined (no defence filed), the proposed preliminary issues depended on contested factual findings and individual circumstances relevant to remedy, and the discretionary exercise was more appropriately undertaken by a judge of the Court of First Instance; accordingly the summons is remitted to the Court of First Instance to be heard by a judge other than Deputy Judge Li.
