The inserted wording including dates and "D/A" did not prevent the instruments from satisfying s.3 of the Bills of Exchange Ordinance and constituting bills of exchange; the evidence did not raise an arguable defence of illegality because the banks were not shown to have knowledge of or to be privy to the alleged conspiracy, therefore summary judgment for the plaintiffs was properly entered and the appeals were dismissed.
