R not complying with Case order management again. What’s your opinion I have FH soon. R barrister is declining to follow case management orders again they are basically saying , (the Respondent cannot exchange witness statements until a decision has been made on the amendment application to the ET1) Yet the said amendment//additional claim have already being heard in the 2nd primarily hearing which was arranged to allow additional claim to be discussed and it was agreed meaning the decision has been verbally and written and agreed in PH? To clarify my Request for amendment sought was merely to add extra label to the already know cases as R was saying they are not aware of the 2nd claim. Which isn’t true but the message may have being missed by R as R have had a 3 different R barristers of the same firm in different stages of this case perhaps they overlooked this case and not discussed it properly among themselves? it s strange as the judge asked us to provide SOL for both claims. Is this time waisting tactic or they are buying time as they asked for the case to be postponed and the judge only gave a week extension? I would have thought even if they have made an application they should still follow case management orders just incase ami wrong?
