Order 14 contains no implied strict time limit; delay is a discretionary matter for the court but does not automatically bar a late application. On the merits the defendants disclosed no arguable defence: the authenticity challenge did not raise a triable issue and the estoppel argument based on possession of a log book/registration did not negate the plaintiff's title under nemo dat. Summary judgment was appropriate for the plaintiff with damages to be assessed and costs awarded.
