</div>&nbsp;The record
shows the present application for Judgment in default of defence was served on
the 3rd defendant by way of substituted service on 24th
July, 2019.&nbsp; The 3rd defendant
has not reacted to the said application. The record also shows that he was served
with the plaintiff’s amended writ and statement of claim through his counsel on
the 14th of January 2019. The 3rd defendant has not
reacted to the said amended writ and statement of claim and he has also not
reacted to the present application for judgment in default of defence against
him.<o:p></o:p>This Court is
thus of the opinion that the 3rd defendant has no defence to the
motion of the plaintiff.&nbsp; Interlocutory
judgment is thus entered against the 3rd defendant in favour of the
plaintiff on all reliefs endorsed on the plaintiff’s amended writ and amended
statement of claim.&nbsp; This is however
subject to final judgment being entered at the end of the substantive matter.<o:p></o:p>The case will
proceed in the normal course against the remaining defendants. <o:p></o:p>(SGD)<o:p></o:p>JUSTICE
