1. On 7th May 1999, Master Muttrie heard an Order 14 application taken out by the Plaintiff against the Defendants, who at the material time traded as Ho & Chan. Ho & Chan is, or rather was, a solicitors' firm which, I am told, has disbanded since about November 1998. Master Muttrie ordered, in terms of the Plaintiff's claim, that the Defendants should have conditional leave to defend, conditional upon paying the sum claimed, namely $4.9 million, into Court within 21 days.
