The court refused to strike out the claim because the pleadings disclose reasonable causes of action raising questions of fact and law (enforceability of the bond, capacity, consent, purpose, implied terms and compatibility with the party constitution and Article 10) that require full trial; the Article 10 challenge was not plainly meritorious at this interlocutory stage; accordingly the strike out application (Lampiran 10) is dismissed with costs.
