- HCA13226/1999
The court refused the application to try the cause and seat of the fire as a preliminary issue because it would not be determinative of liability, would not produce substantial savings in time or costs, would necessitate witnesses returning to give evidence at subsequent trials and would risk delay from appeals. The court did, however, order a split trial between liability and quantum as just and convenient to ensure a just, speedy and economical disposal of liability issues.
