(a)all matters which can be dealt with on interlocutory application and have not already been dealt with (including, in Scotland, any preliminary question of relevance or sufficiency of specification arising on the pleadings) may, so far as possible, be dealt with; and

(b)such directions may be given as to the future course of the proceedings as appear best adapted to secure the just, expeditious and economical disposal thereof;
