Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMP1959/2009

Where default judgments were set aside and the court fixed a fresh timetable for defence, the time for discontinuance under Order 21 r 2 was reset; the notice served on 29 July 2013 was therefore within the permissible period and valid; no abuse of process was demonstrated; defendants' defence and counterclaim filed after service were expunged and costs ordered.
