The judge found the defendant was not liable for the official receiver's delay, that prejudice arose from failures of both parties to make discovery and exchange witness statements in 2001, and that on the facts the discretion to refuse striking out was properly exercised; however the court granted leave to appeal limited to the ground that the official receiver may have warehoused the proceedings and that, if proved, this could affect the exercise of discretion.
