The summons to strike out paragraphs 18A–18J was dismissed. The court found some pleaded defects (notably lack of material facts for implied terms 18A(b),(c); ambiguity as to use of post-writ events; need to clarify notice 14 May 2001) but these defects were curable by amendment or provision of particulars. The striking out remedy was inappropriate because the pleading was not so bad as to be unsalvageable and the plaintiff's application was not an abuse of process in the circumstances.
