Order on ExhibitView PDF
Summary: The court allowed the plaintiff's applications and struck off the written statements filed by both defendants. The judge held that under the Commercial Courts Act, defendants must file written statements within 120 days from service of summons, and this period is sacrosanct. Since Defendant No.1 filed its written statement on 16/12/2024 (well beyond the 120-day period from alleged service on 03/08/2024) and Defendant No.2 filed on the same date (beyond 120 days from 24/07/2024 service), both written statements were ordered to be struck off the record.
