Court of Appeal dismisses in part an appeal against an order granting summary judgment to the respondent bank, on the grounds, inter alia, that the judge was correct to use his discretion and refuse to permit cross-examination of the deponents of the affidavits filed on behalf of the respondent; but the appeal was allowed in part as the court substituted the sum of the order to reflect the sum stated in the amended summary summons.
