Given the prolonged delays, non‑compliance with timetabling and unpaid costs, coupled with prior judicial findings undermining the arguability of the counterclaim, the court exercised its discretion to impose an 'unless' order requiring payment of outstanding costs and additional security for costs by a fixed date and to stay further proceedings pending compliance while permitting limited applications for discovery and variation of the orders if new evidence changed the assessment of arguability.
