The Master found the defendant’s account that the note and cheques were not intended to have legal effect to be inherently unbelievable and inconsistent with prior pleaded positions; there was no credible evidence that the underlying joint venture interest was valueless or that the note was a without-prejudice negotiation, and the issued cheques and partial payment supported the Plaintiff’s claim; consequently the defendant failed to show an arguable defence and summary judgment was entered for the Plaintiff for HK$29,500,000 with interest and costs (order nisi).
