The court refused to change the existing timetable and refused Rolls-Royce's request to limit or defer its obligation to respond to Carter Holt's factual briefs because the Hedley Byrne claim and Carter Holt's contractual claim against Genesis involve a large degree of overlapping factual issues, the cross-claim is closely linked evidentially, discrete contractual issues are accommodated by later timetable orders, and Rolls-Royce would not be unfairly prejudiced by responding contemporaneously.
