- High Court
Adjournment refused and leave to pursue further discovery and to amend the counterclaim denied because both parties failed to act when circumstances changed, the defendant did not timely press discovery concerns, the discrete deadlock/arbitration issue can be determined within the five‑day hearing on 3 September 2018, and allowing late amendment or further discovery would jeopardise the fixture; accordingly the trial proceeds with directions to limit preparation to the deadlock/arbitration issue.
