The defendant did not establish an arguable defence that the $50,000 were part payments for goodwill under a proposed joint venture; contemporaneous documents and communications demonstrated the defendant agreed to repay and the first expression of the goodwill contention appeared only in his affidavit; the Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Act objection was not pleaded or evidenced and was rejected; summary judgment for $50,000 with Judicature Act interest from 6 May 2011 was entered for the plaintiff.
