- HCA2179/2001
Extension of time was granted because the short delay had a reasonable explanation, the merits favoured the defendants and the plaintiff suffered no significant prejudice; summary judgment was set aside because the statement of claim did not specify the amount, sought an inquiry and accounting, the Master produced an unexplained lump sum inconsistent with the pleaded case and failed to distinguish parties' liabilities across two properties, and trustee liability under s.32 was not pleaded as wilful default; amendment of the notice of appeal was allowed; costs reserved.
