1. This is an application for summary judgment on a dishonoured cheque for $5,500,000. The defence suggested is that the 'cheque' was really not a 'cheque' at all, but was a paper writing given to the plaintiff, through a third party, 'by way of comfort' and in so far as it was a 'cheque', it was delivered upon a condition which has not been fulfilled.
