Because the contested issues turn largely on legal interpretation and documentary evidence rather than disputed witness credibility, and briefs of evidence had been exchanged, the fundamental right of plaintiffs to be present throughout the hearing was not displaced; accordingly the defendants' application to exclude the plaintiffs was declined, with the limited exception of one non‑party witness (Mr Gepp).
