The claim for £10,850 (HK$173,600) brought by J. M. Shashoua (Hongkong) Ltd., of Gloucester Building, against the Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China in the Supreme Court was withdrawn this morning, and Mr Justice C. W. Reece granted the plaintiffs liberty to bring a fresh action for the same cause of action.
The judge ordered the plaintiffs to pay the defendant Bank's costs of the action. The leave to start a fresh action was granted subject to the condition that these costs be taxed and paid before the issue of a fresh writ which should be issued within three months of the payment of these costs.
