Leave to TPC Korea Co Limited to enter a conditional appearance was granted because the applicant provided a reasonable explanation for the delay, no prejudice to other parties was shown, and overall interests of justice favoured permitting the foreign owner to defend given seizure of its asset; the Court exercised its procedural discretion to defer determination on intervention to allow proper service and evidentiary steps.
