    Citation
    BRADSTONE LTD v. CARRY EXPRESS INVESTMENT LTD
    Court

    Case number
    LDNT764/1995

    The notice was valid because the respondent's insertion of grounds under the printed sub‑paragraph (2) must be read together with the printed words indicating opposition; applying a liberal construction, the form satisfied s.119(5) despite the failure to delete the alternative paragraph and the imperfect drafting of the inserted ground; costs were refused because the respondent did not act frivolously and costs are constrained by the governing statutes.
