THE MASTER’S COMMENTS ON THE DEFENCE AND COUNTERCLAIM • The Claimants’ Reply to the amended Defence and defence to counterclaim of the First Defendant is dated 9 October 2015. It was not signed by counsel, and was evidently drafted by the Claimants’ solicitors. It consists of eight short paragraphs, four for the Reply, and four for the defence to counterclaim.

The latter read as follows: “5. Paragraph 54 of the counterclaim is admitted, in that the Claimants sought and obtained the entry of the unilateral notice, but not that the Claimants had in any sense improperly altered the 2009 Charge.

The express and implied implications of dishonesty made at paragraphs 55 and 56 of the counterclaim are strenuously denied. Paragraph 58 of the counterclaim is admitted, in that the Claimants do not agree to vacate the unilateral notice, but is denied as to the balance of that paragraph. The entitlement to relief claimed at paragraph 59 of the counterclaim and in the Prayer to the counterclaim is denied.” It will be noted that there is no pleading as to para 57 of the counterclaim (altered 2009 charge not executed by or on behalf of, and not a valid instrument binding on, the First Defendant).

• The Claimants’ solicitors subsequently provided what they called a “Clarification” of the reply and defence to counterclaim, dated 3 November 2015. It is six paragraphs long. It says in para 1 that it is to provide voluntary clarification of the Claimants’ case in relation to paras 55-57 of the Amended Defence and counterclaim of the First Defendant. In summary, the remainder says that during a meeting in Pakistan between the First Claimant and ARY, the latter produced a copy of the original 2009 charge and offered the Claimants the benefit of it. It was then altered in the way already described, and the director of Turquoise was asked for and gave his consent. It does not however plead to para 57 of the counterclaim.
