JUDGE PELLING:
"The general requirement is that, unless the court orders otherwise … evidence in reply must be filed and served within seven days of the service of evidence in answer… "
He relies also on CPR 58.13(2), which extends the period of time referred to in para.13.1(3) from seven to fourteen days. He says there is, therefore, an obligation on the part of the claimant to file evidence in reply to the two witness statements that he has filed in the substantive proceedings, and that these proceedings must be adjourned in order to enable the claimant to comply with that obligation.
