Official approved Judgment of the Court. No further note or transcript is to be made.
This is a trial of Preliminary Issues. Upon applications for further and better discovery of documents during preparations for trial of this action, it became clear that issues were raised going beyond discovery to the conduct of the trial of a part of the action.
With the agreement of the parties, I therefore ordered the trial of certain preliminary issues with a view to making rulings for the guidance of the parties in preparations for trial and in the conduct of the trial.
The parties have agreed certain assumptions of fact for the purpose of the trial of these preliminary issues only, but to understand those agreed assumptions, it is necessary to state something of the background. In giving an account of the background, I shall endeavour to give a simplified account of that part of the background as it affects the issues before me now. I hope that that account will not be so over-simplified as to be misleading. The issues before me now concern only a very small part of the multitude of issues and sub-issues arising in the action as a whole.
This action arises out of a part of a new building development of Guy's Hospital, London SE1. The part concerned is Stage 2 of Phase 3 of Philip Harris House, on the site of the existing main hospital building.
