The High Court ordered transfer to the Court of Appeal because the proceeding presented an identical legal issue to the pending Steigrad appeal, involved no contentious facts, raised matters of urgent public importance for the insurance industry, and transfer would avoid duplication and expedite an authoritative determination; discovery of policy limits was refused as irrelevant to the legal question, and the defendant was granted leave to file further evidence within 10 days.
