BL-2021-000228 - [2025] EWHC 2222 (Ch)

The timeline of the steps taken by the claimants was clearly and expressly disclosed in the evidence in support of the Extension Applications.

Ashdown 4 set out the chronology of the steps taken by the claimants until that date, specifically setting out the dates on which they had made enquiries of the FPS, commissioned certified translations of the service documents, sent the documents to the FPS, received them back from the FPS and sent corrected documents to the FPS. The time they had taken for each step was thus expressly and clearly drawn to the court’s attention. The evidence in support of the two subsequent Extension Applications referred to Ashdown 4 and updated the Court on steps taken since the previous application.
