The court held that because the pleadings did not contain clear and unequivocal admissions entitling the respondents to judgment—there being pleaded avoidance by way of failure of consideration and material allegations (including alleged forgeries) raising serious contested issues—the Registrar's judgment founded on admissions under Order 27(3) should be set aside; the matter must proceed to trial on the disputed factual and legal issues, and costs are apportioned between the parties.
