Slymms and Wisteria and Ors

The proceeding involved an application by Slymms and Wisteria, with other parties also involved. The specific nature of the dispute is not detailed, but the court's orders indicate it concerns evidence and expert testimony, likely within a civil or family law context. The matter came before Rose J.

The central legal issues revolved around the admissibility of an affidavit sworn by a Mr S, the provision of further information to Mr S, and the timeline for the completion and distribution of an addendum to his report. The court also had to determine arrangements for Mr S's availability for cross-examination, ensuring his professional commitments were accommodated.

Rose J made several directions to manage the evidence. The affidavit of Mr S was admitted into evidence. The parties were permitted to provide Mr S with additional relevant information by a specified date. The applicant's solicitors were directed to inform Mr S of these directions and to ensure the completion and distribution of an addendum to his report by a set deadline. This addendum was also to be furnished to the Associate to Rose J. Finally, arrangements were made for Mr S to be available for cross-examination on specific dates, provided he received reasonable written notice to allow for his professional commitments.
