Heath J exercised discretion under r 10.4 and ordered a separate one-day trial of Mevon's first counterclaim on 13 February 2017 because commercial urgency and potential prejudice from continued trading in New Zealand justified immediate determination, conditional on both parties agreeing to fast-track any appeal; outstanding discovery and interrogatory requests were dismissed as resolved or unnecessary for that discrete issue.
