Applicant failed to show a counterclaim/set-off equal to or exceeding the debt specified in the statutory demand as required by r.48(5)(a) BR and did not tender the balance of the debt or invoke residual discretion; therefore the statutory demand could not be set aside and there was no basis to apportion costs; the order nisi was made absolute and costs awarded to the respondent.
