creditors of a public company and its receiver in a class action to recover almost a billion dollars from its auditor which, amongst other things, failed to detect a fraud perpetrated by an officer and director; and

a telecommunications company in a series of urgent injunction applications against its fiercest competitor over misleading advertising;
