The court held the defendant raised a bona fide and arguable defence supported by documentary and circumstantial evidence (emails, debit notes, written agreement, prior dealings) such that the defence was not a sham or merely shadowy; accordingly the conditional payment into court was unjustified and the defendant was entitled to unconditional leave to defend; the appeal was allowed and costs were reserved in favour of the defendant.
