1. The Plaintiff's claim against the defendant is for a liquidated sum and for damages. Judgment was obtained in default of defence. Subsequently, on the plaintiff's own application, the judgment was set aside as it was realized that in the District Court a default judgment cannot be entered on a mixed claim: see United Merchants Finance Ltd. v. Ngai Chor Yin (Civil Appeal Nos. 127 and 174 of 1984). An application was then made to fix a date for trial.
