Summary
JPL Industries applied for judgment against Lanka Marine Services under a Tomlin order after Lanka failed to make the agreed payments of $521,260.95. Lanka resisted on the ground that the judgment debt should be set off against a separate judgment in Lanka's favour against a related company, SMIY. The court rejected Lanka's equitable set-off defence and entered judgment for JPL, finding insufficient connection between the cross-claims and a lack of mutuality.
