A trial has been listed for a four-day hearing. The claimant has three witnesses and the defendant has five. One of the claimant's witnesses is unable to attend the first two days of the hearing. Is an application to court for an order to change the usual timetable of the claimant's witnesses appearing first, then the defendant's witnesses, or can this be agreed between the parties, so that the witness who is unable to attend the first two days can appear on the third day?
