    Citation
    TECH FOCUS LTD v. AUSTRIA PROPERTY MANAGEMENT LTD AND ANOTHER
    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACV130/2003

    The Court set aside the striking out and the injunction because the defendants had made material efforts to obtain inspection (31 March letter) which the plaintiff declined, the delay was not so serious as to warrant driving the defendants from the judgment seat, and expert evidence raised disputed factual issues (including possible illegal structures) that required resolution before ordering mandatory relief; accordingly the defence was restored while the costs order was left intact.
