The Claimant (‘Excotek’) applies for an extension of time from 6 February 2020 to 26 March 2021 for the service of Particulars of Claim on the Second Defendant (‘Chaucer’) , alternatively for a stay. The application is in substance for relief from sanctions following an omission to take steps to draft, and seek the court’s approval for, a consent order reflecting a stay of proceedings which had been agreed in principle between the parties. Chaucer cross-applies to strike out Excotek’s claim.
