The interlocutory judgment entered 12 September 2008 was set aside because the plaintiff demonstrated a meritorious defence supported by authority that the 1st defendant, if acting as agent for a disclosed principal, lacked capacity to sue on the principal's behalf; the application for service on the agent under Order 10(2) was dismissed because the plaintiff failed to demonstrate substantial time or cost savings to justify departing from Order 11; costs were apportioned as costs in the cause for the summons to set aside the judgment, and other costs orders were made accordingly.
