The Court held that it was not plain and obvious that the 17 January 2001 letter could not be a s23(3) acknowledgement or that it was inadmissible as without prejudice; on the facts and context it was at least arguable that the defendant acknowledged liability as guarantor for the companies' indebtedness and was seeking indulgence rather than negotiating a disputed liability, so the strike out for limitation could not be ordered and the matter must proceed to trial.
