- CACV95/1984
The deed of compromise unambiguously required Trident to have 'commenced against and served on Axona proceedings' before 3 November 1983; issue and service of the summons on 2 November 1983 did not comply with that proviso; consequently the claim was time‑barred and leave under s.186 was properly refused; amendments to evade the deed's time bar were impermissible and the order granting leave to submit proof of debt and liberty to apply was unnecessary and deleted.
