- DCCJ1813/2018
Given evolving and significant COVID-19 travel and quarantine restrictions rendering attendance from the USA impractical and the substantive dispute largely hinging on interpretation of written agreements rather than contested oral credibility, the court exercised its discretion to permit both identified witnesses to give evidence by VCF subject to specified safeguards; the late application was noted and costs of the application were ordered in the cause on a nisi basis.
