Further, leave to defend can be granted subject to conditions as to time or mode of trial, as well as payment into court or furnishing security in cases where (i) despite the defendant raising triable issues, a doubt is left with the trial Judge about the defendant\u2019s good faith, or the genuineness of the triable issues (ii) the defendant raises a defence which is plausible but improbable. As such a defence does not raise triable issues, conditions as to deposit or security or both can extend to the entire principal sum together with such interest as the court feels the justice of the case requires. Further, leave to defend should be refused when the defendant has no substantial defence and\/or raises no genuine triable issues, and the court finds such defence to be frivolous or vexatious. Further, when any part of the amount claimed by the plaintiff is admitted by the defendant to be due from him, leave to defend the suit, (even if triable issues or a substantial defence is raised), shall not be granted unless the amount so admitted to be due is deposited by the defendant in court.
