On the pleadings and arguments before the court the plaintiff was entitled to judgment on the on‑demand bond because alleged continuing subcontractual obligations (due to unresolved disputes) meant the bond was not expired; the defendant was given a limited opportunity (7 days) to apply to raise a defence of lack of good faith/fraud but otherwise the appeal was allowed and judgment entered for the plaintiff.
