I am prepared to order and direct that Raiffeisen Bank International AG, the Plaintiff, has permission to join Mr Smith and to re-re-amend the re-amended writ and re-amend the amended statement of claim in the form approved by the Court, and to serve out and for the directions that Mr Penny took me through at the outset in relation to the suggested order with the relevant amendments.
