Summary

The claimant requested that the comptroller decline to deal with a reference under section 12(2) on the grounds of the complexity of the issues. The defendant consented to the request, but on the grounds that there were substantially identical grounds before the High Court.

The request was refused on claimants grounds, but granted on the defendants grounds.
