- High Court
The Court concluded the 10AMSOC is cumbersome and requires amendment but did not introduce new causes of action; plaintiffs granted opportunity to amend pleadings up to a new close of pleadings date to provide clarity on defects, damage and remedial costs; SML's strike out/particulars application was partially upheld in that deficiencies must be remedied, but the evidence application was dismissed and the plaintiffs' further expert evidence was not excluded; the Court set a new timetable and directed rationalisation of evidence rather than micromanagement.
