Citation

INDIAN CORRIDOR SDN BHD AND ANOTHER v. CHINA IDEA DEVELOPMENT LTD AND OTHERS
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV248/2008

References in the plaintiffs' defence to the validity of the management agreement and to the discontinued statement of claim were irrelevant to the 2nd defendant's particulars of claim of loss arising from the Mareva injunction and would cause unnecessary delay and expense; those references should be struck out and the 2nd defendant was entitled to the relief sought, with costs ordered nisi in its favour.
