The Court held the issues were not pure questions of law because material and disputed facts existed (possession and ownership of containers, transfer to Commercial Fraud Unit, payment of earlier judgment), therefore Order 14A/Order 33 summary procedure was inappropriate and the matter requires a full trial; no error of law or misdirection by the High Court was demonstrated.
