BL-2017-000665 - [2025] EWHC 2909 (Ch)

This judgment has had to deal with a very long list of issues remaining in dispute. In part its length is because of the complexity of some of the arguments raised on the applications for interest, permission to appeal and stay of execution. However it is also because of the very substantial number of miscellaneous outstanding disputes on the forms of the CO, the WFO and the DDO, which impose very detailed obligations on the Defendants, but which were in a state of flux throughout the hearing and thereafter as counsel sought to narrow the issues. The final versions of the orders to be made will now be circulated to the parties with this judgment.

Any applications to me for permission to appeal against the determinations made in this judgment are to be made on or before 24 November 2025, and the Second Consequentials hearing will be further adjourned to enable those applications (if made) to be determined. The parties are agreed that time for filing any appellants notices with the Court of Appeal will be extended to 21 days after the sealing of the CO, or in the event that an application is made to me for permission to appeal against the determinations made in this judgment, 21 days after determination of that application.
