Gaoming was properly joined because it had a direct and substantial interest in the letters of credit and would be liable for any L/C payments; potential multiplicity of actions could be addressed by consolidation and transfer to the Commercial List; the merits of Gaoming's defence were not appropriately decided on affidavit at interlocutory stage; accordingly Order 15 r 6(2)(b)(ii) applied and the appeal was dismissed.
