COMMERCIAL LIST GUIDE This small handbook is intended to be a guide to the practice adopted by the Judges sitting in the Commercial List of the Supreme Court. It is not intended to be a substitute for the relatively few Rules of Court applicable to the List which appear in Order 2 of Chapter II of the Rules of the Supreme Court, nor is it intended to lay down with precision how the Judges in the List will exercise their discretionary powers on every occasion. Since 1986 the Commercial List has been a judge-controlled list, designed to provide speedy but fair resolution of commercial disputes, so far as that is practicable. To that end the judges sitting in the list have exercised a wide discretion as to the type of cases admitted to the list and as to the control both of interlocutory process and the mode of trial. This guide is designed to give some indication of the manner in which that discretion has been exercised in the recent past and of the manner in which it will be exercised in the future.
