- Court
- High Court
The Court granted leave to amend the statement of defence and to file a counterclaim but stayed the counterclaim pending determination of Mercedes-Benz's substantive claim; refused to issue subpoenas for the plaintiff's counsel as witnesses because their evidence was not relevant to the main claim; adjourned the joinder application to a case management conference after judgment on the substantive claim; ordered supplementary discovery and specific pre-trial directions to ensure the trial could proceed as scheduled.
