Statutes — Usury Act [Chapter 299] — money-lending — whether a transaction is one of money-lending — discounting of bills of exchange and factoring of invoices — where such may be regarded as money-lending transactions. Contract — money-lending — interest claimed in excess of that allowed under Usury Act — Plaintiff riot precluded thereby from recovering capital amount plus interim allowed in terms of Act. Practice and procedure — application for summary judgment — unliquidated counterclaim raised as defence — where such counterclaim will probably be appreciably less than main claim and no payment into Court made, not a bona fide defence for purposes of resisting summary judgment.
