The court held the defendant did not plead factually inconsistent alternatives; alternatively, even if inconsistent alternatives were pleaded Order 18 r.12A is satisfied because reasonable grounds exist given incomplete records, the passage of time, multiple assignments and that the nature of the loans is a question of law; therefore striking out was not appropriate and the appeal was dismissed.
