Clause 7.3 is a contractual condition precedent making liability contingent upon demand; therefore the cause of action accrued on issuance of demand on 2 January 2024 and the writ filed in November 2024 was within the six-year limitation period, so the striking-out application fails.

The application to intervene was dismissed because the applicant's delay of over one year was unjustified given early notice of the incident, the applicant's asserted interest was contingent and speculative rather than sufficiently urgent, and allowing intervention would cause real prejudice and disruption to the scheduled proceedings; on balance the court exercised its discretion to refuse intervention.
