The adjournment was warranted because the pre-trial timetable had not been complied with, the recent Court of Appeal decision raised substantive and procedural issues necessitating clarification (including possible amendment of pleadings and further discovery), key witnesses were unavailable, and the interests of justice and efficient use of trial time required additional pre-trial management; accordingly the existing fixture was vacated and further case management directions ordered.
