The court exercised its discretion under Order 33 r3 RHC and ordered liability on the alleged profit‑sharing agreement to be tried first because the central factual dispute over whether and on what terms the agreement existed made pre‑trial expert work on quantum likely to be wasted; separation was just and convenient and served the CJR objectives of proportionality, cost‑effectiveness and fairness.
