    High Court

    Court held defendant's strike-out application partly successful: specific paragraphs and annexures in the fifth amended statement of claim were irrelevant or incapable of the pleaded meanings and were struck out; plaintiff's strike-out of the defence for lack of particulars was rejected but defendant was ordered to provide particulars of defences of truth and honest opinion for specified pleaded meanings by set deadline; plaintiff ordered to particularise allegation that defendant knew and endorsed third-party statements; interlocutory timetable and further pleadings ordered.
