The appeal is allowed because the Consolidated Defence contained substantive new facts not previously pleaded or particularised in the separate defences or affidavits; those parts are impermissible amendments under principles governing consolidation and must be struck out; the Master’s order dismissing the striking out application is set aside and the identified paragraphs are struck out with directions for replacement and limited costs to the successful appellant.
