1. This is the trial of a preliminary issue in the plaintiff's action for damages for personal injuries said to be suffered whilst in the defendant's employ. The issue is whether or not the court should disapply in the plaintiff's favour the provisions of S.27 of the Limitation Ordinance, cap.347, pursuant to its discretion under S.30 of the Ordinance. The matter has been argued on the affirmations, save for three letters between the legal representatives handed in by consent of the parties.
