Parkes v. McGregor & Anor [2006] ScotCS CSOH_100 (16 May 2006)

The pursuer's reasons, individually or cumulatively, did not justify either an extension of the adjustment period or a sist of the proceedings. Any further changes to pleadings could be made by amendment, and the interests of creditors and the need for procedural progress outweighed the pursuer's arguments for delay.
