The strike-out application was dismissed because prior submissions by counsel did not constitute an express waiver of the slander cause of action; the pleaded paragraphs contained material averments linking the oral slander to subsequent publications by authorisation; the pleadings were not scandalous, frivolous or vexatious and this was not a plain and obvious case warranting strike out or amendment.
