Defendant's pleaded defences raised potentially triable issues but were of doubtful credibility; rather than dismiss plaintiff's claim, the appeal court allowed the defendant leave to defend only on condition that the defendant pays HK$5,000,000 into court within 14 days, thereby balancing the limited ability to rely on parol evidence to prove conditional delivery/escrow or failure of consideration against the prima facie enforceability of the cheque.
