ORDER

CATCHWORDS
Uniform Civil Procedure Rules r 469
HIS HONOUR:  The Court makes an order in terms of the initialled draft pursuant to Rule 469 dispensing with the defendant's signature on the request for trial date.

The plaintiff has gone through the expected steps of a Rule 444 letter and the like.  It's in the position of asserting that the matter's ready for trial.  There's nothing coming from the defendant's side to gainsay that.

I'm grateful to Ms Russell who has attended as a courtesy extended to the Court by the firm for which she works who are the defendant’s solicitors on the record.  He is, it seems, about to become self-acting.

Ms Russell has informed the Court that Mr Stewart is being sued for fees for services of an accountancy nature says he is not able give attention to the matter;  he advises that he thinks the trial might last three days which is one more than the estimate that appears in the plaintiff's request for trial date.

Ms Russell also informed the Court that she is preparing a notice of acting in person to assist her client in the change in representation arrangements that she's foreshadowed.

Order as per initialled draft.
