If the company only asserts a dispute without adducing evidence, the court may order substitution and require evidence to be filed; where the company has adduced evidence of a bona fide substantial dispute the court must determine that issue before substitution. On the facts the company failed to show a bona fide substantial dispute as to the dishonoured cheques and Wenden was entitled to substitution effective from the date of the summons.
