High Court directs a plenary hearing for a property possession case, specifying the defenses the defendant may rely on. The court's decision follows a summary application for possession of two properties under statute, as amended. The court rejected some defenses as not arguable, while others were deemed to require a full hearing. The court also struck out the defendant's motions seeking to dismiss the plaintiff's claim, as they mirrored defenses already considered. Costs of the proceedings to date were determined to be costs in the cause, and a stay was granted for the exchange of pleadings, pending potential appeals.
