In making a strike out decision under Part 24, the court of first instance was exercising a discretion which an appellate court should be reluctant to disturb. The court should only interfere in the case of a manifest error. The Law Society had intervened in the legal practice of the respondent’s late husband. The court had struck out a claim by the Society that the home had not been validly transferred to her. That decision was not outside those open to the court on the evidence. There was no applicable limitation period in a case concerning gifts made by the debtor.
