- High Court
Leave to file a statement of defence was granted because the second defendant articulated an arguable defence that puts the plaintiffs to proof, the explanation for delay (counsel error) was accepted and the plaintiffs would not suffer irreparable injury from permitting a defence; delay alone was not fatal and costs were awarded to the plaintiffs on a 2B basis.
