The statutory demand was set aside because the alleged sum was not a genuinely liquidated debt: the claimant's entitlement depended on completion of partnership accounts and there was a bona fide dispute on substantial grounds. Therefore the debt could not sustain a statutory demand; further, issuing the demand in those circumstances was an abuse of process warranting indemnity costs against the respondent.
