- Case number
- HCA1469/2022
The court refused to accede to the 3rd defendant's application at this stage because pleadings in the HG Property Action had not closed, preventing the court from identifying the precise issues and witnesses and assessing whether trial together would be proper and expedient; there was no urgency and the appropriate course was to adjourn the summonses to the Case Management Summons after close of pleadings, with directions to expedite filing of defences and case management steps.
