- High Court
The application to vacate the fixture was refused because the close of pleadings had passed and leave to amend would not be granted in the circumstances; the discovery application had been rightly declined for lack of relevance and potential appeal did not justify delay; claimed effects of lockdown did not establish inability to prepare affidavits or to use remote means; instead parties were ordered to confer and propose timetable adjustments if necessary.
