1. On 28th April 1995, a Master ordered that the Plaintiff's Order 14 summons be adjourned to a date to be fixed "on condition that the Defendant do pay the sum of HK$750,000 into court within 28 days from the date hereof" and went on to give a timetable for the filing of further affidavits. The Defendant appealed against the condition imposed by the Master. On 16th May, I allowed the appeal and said I would put my reasons in writing. These are the reasons.
