The appeal was dismissed because the pleadings and evidence disclosed triable issues — notably a plausible counterclaim which may give rise to legal or equitable set-off and uncertainty over facts and translation — such that summary judgment was inappropriate; although the certified translation is presumptively accurate the defendant’s challenge and failure to examine the translator did not eliminate triable issues; therefore appeal to overturn Master’s dismissal of summary judgment was refused and costs awarded to defendant.
