- Court of First Instance
- Case number
- HCMP736/2007
Summary judgment entered for Johnson Stokes & Master because the defendants' counterclaim was not a genuine bona fide defence and failed on causation; the application for taxation was discretionary under s67 and, given the late, generalised and tactical nature of the challenge, taxation was refused; the application for stay pending winding-up was refused because exceptional circumstances existed (no bona fide defence, apparent dissipation/tactical conduct) and the plaintiff undertook not to execute judgment until winding-up resolved.
