On 16th April 1999, the plaintiff filed a writ of summons and statement of claim against the defendant in the nature of a debt recovery action. The plaintiff alleges that the defendant is indeb ted to it in the sum of $114,680.72 as at 28th of April 1998 together with interest accruing at 16% per annum. Acknowledgement of Service was filed by Sahu Khan & Sahu Khan on 24th April 1999 and the statement of defence and counter claim were filed on 14 t h June 1999. Thereafter, nothing happened in this file until 18th October 2004 when Messrs SB Patel & Company filed a Notice of Appointment of Solicitors. On 22nd October 2004, SB Patel & Company filed a Notice of Intention to Proceed under Order 3 Rule 5 of the High Court Rules.

Thereafter \endash the case was called some sixteen times before Master Udit from 14th February 2008 to 12th March 2009. During that time, no affidavit in opposition to reinstatement was filed, nor did Master Udit make a ruling on the application. He was in fact adjourning the case because there was some talk of settlement happening between the parties. When the case was first called before me on 16th Se p tember 2009, I recorded that a Terms of Settlement had been circulated between the parties for which Mr. Patel needed the plaintiff's confirmation. Thereafter, the case was called before me some 15 times from 08th October 2009 to 25th August 2010. During t his time, Mr. Patel was advising the court that the matter had been settled. Dr. Sahu Khan was denying that the matter had been settled. Notably, on 25th May 2010, nearly three years after the application for reinstatement, Sahu Khan & Sahu Khan filed an Affidavit opposing reinstatement. It appears that Mr. Patel had been under the misapprehension that his client had settled the matter with Dr. Sahu Khan's client. But there is no such record of it on file. \par }\pard \s15\ql \li0\ri0\nowidctlpar\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0\pararsid3026093 {\f0\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid3026093\charrsid10498922 \par {\listtext\pard\plain\s15 \lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid3026093\charrsid10498922 \hich\af0\dbch\af0\loch\f0 [8].\tab}}\pard \s15\ql \li0\ri0\nowidctlpar\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\ls1\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0\pararsid3026093 { \f0\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid3026093\charrsid10498922 As stated, this is a debt recovery claim.
