a cheque)1

[219]
ACF 5(1): 03/2016
ON APPEAL FROM [insert court appealed from]
TO the [County Court at ......... OR High Court [Chancery OR Queen's Bench Division]]
[......... District Registry]
Claim No. ...
[insert name] Appellant
and
[insert name] Respondent
GROUNDS OF APPEAL2

1 The Appellant is the Claimant in a claim in respect of a cheque which the

Respondent wrongfully countermanded.
2 The learned [District Judge OR Master] held that the Respondent's defence of set-
off3 stood a real prospect of success and he refused to grant summary judgment under
CPR Part 24.
3 The decision of the learned [District Judge OR Master] was wrong because the
transaction in respect of which the Respondent claims a set-off (namely an agreement
for the right to distribute the Appellant's products in a specified territory) is not
sufficiently closely connected to the transaction in respect of which the cheque was
given (namely, payment for goods sold and delivered)4.

The Appellant [proposes OR does not propose] to file a skeleton argument5.
