The Master's summary judgment was set aside and conditional leave to defend was granted because, although the defendant raised potentially triable issues, those defences were late, inadequately supported by contemporaneous evidence and in some respects shadowy; fairness required preserving the defendant's right to trial only upon payment into court of the Hong Kong dollar equivalent of JPY 42,560,000 (as determined by HSBC mid-market rate on the date of judgment) within 30 days or by providing security to a Master's satisfaction.
