  COURT PROCEDURE

  Deutsche Bank AG and another (Respondents) v Vik (Appellant)
  Permission to Appeal application lodged
  Case summary:

  This appeal is concerned with three issues: (1) Does the High Court have the inherent power to make a second order requiring a judgment debtor, or the officer of a judgment debtor, to attend Court for examination as to the means of the judgment debtor to satisfy its judgment debt, in circumstances where the Court has previously made such an order under CPR Part 71 but no longer has the power to make a fresh such order? (2) Must a judge, when exercising a discretionary power, explain any departure in his or her approach from that taken on an earlier exercise of discretion in the same or related proceedings? (3) Where a person is joined to proceedings for the purposes of costs only pursuant to CPR 46.2, and gives an address for service in that context, do they thereby agree to be served at that address with applications in the proceedings that relate to matters other than costs?
