The statutory demand was set aside because mutuality existed so that legal set-off was arguable, equitable set-off applied given the close connection between the subcontract claims and the statutory employment debt, and the Applicant demonstrated a counterclaim/cross-demand exceeding the amount of the demand, warranting the exercise of the court's discretion to set aside the demand.
