Holding

The application is granted, the amended plaint dated 25/7/2019 is set aside, and leave is granted for the extension of time and the amended plaint is deemed duly filed and served. The plaintiff shall bear the costs of the application.

Facts

The plaintiff filed an amended plaint on 30/7/2019, which was struck out by the court on 30/7/2019 due to irregularities. The plaintiff sought to set aside the striking out order and extend the time for filing the amended plaint.

Issues

  1. Whether the court should set aside its order striking out the amended plaint
  2. Whether the court should grant leave for the extension of time and deem the amended plaint duly filed and served
