Ghadban v. The "Cleo D"

In Admiralty Practice, Discovery on (Updated )

This was an application by the Defendant for leave to continue the examination for discovery of the Plaintiff. The ground advanced in support of the application was that the Defendant’s former solicitors had not dealt properly with the various issues relevant to the case. The Court declined the application holding that there must be special reasons to order a further discovery and that the reason given by the Defendant was not sufficient.
