SCIORTINO v BEAMONT [2019] EWHC 189 (Ch)
Allegedly negligent advice given in October 2011 had been merely confirmatory of advice given earlier in May 2011 and had not given rise to a fresh cause of action. Any claim in relation to the May 2011 advice was time-barred and the court below had therefore been right to strike out the allegation.

IG INDEX LTD v CLOETE [2015] EWHC 3698 (QB)
The court struck out a claim for a permanent injunction on the basis that it was very difficult to see how the claimant could obtain anything of value from a trial of the action and it would be wholly disproportionate to allow the time of the court to be taken up, and so much expenditure to be incurred, to so little purpose.

THE COMMISSIONER OF POLICE OF THE METROPOLIS v ABDULLE [2015] EWCA Civ 1260
On an appeal from a case management decision refusing to strike out a claim for failure to comply with procedural rules (CPR r 3.4(2)) the court of appeal will not lightly interfere with the first instance judge’s exercise of discretion, especially if the decision whether or not to strike out is finely balanced.
