- HCA4607/2003
The court refused the solicitors' applications for trial of the preliminary issue and dismissed the applications for stays because a split trial would not be just and convenient: it would multiply proceedings, increase delay and costs, risk injustice from faded memories and lost witnesses, and the related negligence and factual issues were intertwined and should be resolved together; consequently the applications were refused and the other actions not stayed.
