Following the hearing on 19 October 2023, the first defendant (QMMPL) produced various documents and information (by way of witness statements) which purported to address what was required by the parties’ experts.
On 9 April 2024, orders were made, in effect, that the parties’ experts are to discuss that material and identify whether any further information is required in order for them to undertake their assessment (which is to answer questions relating to the “reasonable costs” of administering and collecting unpaid tolls). The parties and the parties’ experts will also discuss the form of the proposed questions to the experts.
With the benefit of the experts’ views, the parties are to come back before the Court in about June or July 2024, subject to the parties’ and Court’s availability at that time.
