Action by depositor for recovery of monies deposited with Landsbanki - application by Administrators for the claim against them to be heard separately as a preliminary issue - Royal Court Civil Rules, 2007 (Rules 1 and 38) - need to give effect to 'the overriding objective' and ensure 'proportionality' - held that justice required one trial of the issues rather than the possible added delay, frustration and expense of separate trials
