The summons to strike out was dismissed because, although the judge was sceptical that the pleaded misconduct amounted to conduct of Money Facts within s.724(1)(a), the petitioner’s novel construction was arguable and merited trial; materially identical matters were already before the court in related petitions so allowing the Petition to proceed would not significantly increase time or costs, and therefore discretion favoured refusing strike out and directing that the Petition be tried together with the 2018 petitions.
