    The appeal was allowed and the Master’s order set aside; the Court exercised its discretion to substitute a varied unless order giving the 2nd Defendant a final deadline (4pm on 1 December 1998) to file signed witness statements and ruled that failure to do so would bar the 2nd Defendant from adducing the related evidence at trial without leave; costs of the Plaintiff's summons were ordered to be paid by the 2nd Defendant, and costs of the appeal were ordered to be paid by the Plaintiff to the 2nd Defendant.
