Citation

SOLOMON TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION v. KARMA (ASIA PACIFIC) LTD. and JTS CORPORATION (Third Party)
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA13339/1997

The Master’s summary judgment was set aside because material new evidence (in the second affirmation) raised real issues as to who were the contracting parties and whether the purchase order constituted the whole contract; consequently the matter must go to trial and conditional leave to defend was granted provided the judgment sum paid into court remains there until final judgment.
