ABSTRACT
In 1 Peter Mangroo, 2 Bissessar called Baata v Dhanmatie Singh, Civil Appeal No 22 (1974), decided on 14 July 1977, the point of major concern was the respondent’s challenge of the effectiveness of the following pleading: ‘Save as is hereinbefore expressly admitted, the defendants deny each and every allegation contained in the Statement of Claim, as if the same were set out verbatim and traversed seriatim,’ which was employed by THE solicitor for the appellants. The Court of Appeal considered the meaning of this encapsulated form of pleading; its range and limitations.
