During a Commercial List case conference in a complex multi‑party commercial dispute, the court addressed ongoing discovery and production issues among numerous defendants and third parties.
The court directed timelines for outstanding undertakings and warned that unresolved production disputes would require formal motions before a Master.
The court emphasized counsel’s obligation to cooperate in resolving discovery issues and indicated that failure to do so could result in elevated or full indemnity costs.
Additional guidance was provided regarding potential motions for non‑party examinations and production of partnership financial statements.
The court scheduled a further case conference and noted that the matter would not proceed to trial as early as previously anticipated due to outstanding discovery issues.
