The appeal was dismissed but the Defendant was not given unconditional leave to defend; the judge found triable issues as to whether the dealings were within the lender's regulated business and whether enforcement should be excused under s.18(3). Because the defendant is the administratrix and key facts and documents are under the Plaintiff's control, those issues require trial. The court confirmed it can exercise s.18(3) discretion on paper but declined to do so here and ordered the Defendant to pay the claim into court within 42 days as a condition of leave to defend.
