Cap. 13 ст. 198Pleas personal to holder.

(1) Pleas which are personal to the holder of a bill cannot delay the payment thereof, unless the pleas are such as can be conveniently and speedily disposed of in the pending action.

(2) Where such pleas require a prolonged enquiry, the examination thereof shall be referred to an independent action and, meanwhile, the judgment ordering the payment of the bill, with or without security, as the court shall deem fit, shall not be delayed.
