</div>On 5th August 2011, the plaintiffs issued out this writ against the 1st defendant
and claimed some reliefs.<o:p></o:p>On 1st September 2011, the
defendant entered appearance to the plaintiffs’ writ of summons and filed a
defence to the action on 27th September 2011. After pleadings had
closed, the issues filed by the plaintiffs were set down on 23rd January
2012 as the issues for trial,
on the premise that no additional issues had been filed.
However, it appeared that on the same 23rd January 2012, the then
defendant filed additional issues but this was not brought to the notice of the then trial judge<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;The issues set down on 23rd January
2012 for resolution are as follows:<o:p></o:p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&quot;Book Antiqua&quot;,serif;
