    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACV85/1996

    The Court held that the construction of Article 3.01 (the meaning of 'offset') is a factual and legal matter to be tried and should be remitted to trial; it declined to interfere with the trial judge's conditional grant of leave to defend; the defendants' acceptance of the $966,000 paid into court rendered that point live no longer; the Court did not order any restoration or increase of the sum paid in for want of a basis to fix a quantum; costs were ordered to be costs in the action as specified.
