The court held the original writ did not require prior leave under Order 6 r7(1); Master Cannon properly granted leave under Order 11 r1(f) because damage was sustained in Hong Kong and plaintiffs established a good arguable case; service of the first concurrent writ on the 1st defendant was valid under Hague Convention Article 10(a) despite the Japanese expert's opinion; the renewal and stamping defects did not invalidate the writs where the registry erred and no prejudice was shown. Accordingly the 1st defendant's summonses seeking to set aside writs and service were dismissed.
