Given the complexity of disputed facts and law (delivery, agency, cancellation, intermeddling) and absence of prejudice that could not be compensated by costs, it was just and convenient to permit the 1st Third Party to raise the issues in its draft defence, allow out‑of‑time affirmation by Mr Liu and to join the 1st Third Party as a defendant; pleadings must be filed and the matters determined together by a judge rather than proceeded with on originating summons before a master.
