Commissiong for Claimant Mr. Perry Joseph for Defendant 2004: 2nd December REASONS FOR DECISION
[1]The claim form was served on the defendant on 17th June 2004. The defendant 27th did nothing until about July 2004, when they instructed their legal practitioners. The claimants applied for judgment in default on 15th July 2004. This application was heard on 30th July 2004. At the hearing the defendants were represented. As the defendants had filed no defence or even entered any acknowledgement of service, judgment was entered for the claimant.
[2]The defendant thus had knowledge ofthe default judgment on the 30th July 2004. On 4th November 2004 the defendant applied to have the judgment set aside. An affidavit in support of the application was filed by a secretary in the firm of the legal practitioners for the defendant. ,..
[3]In that affidavit there was no explanation advanced for the failure to defend or enter an acknowledgement of service. The affidavit offered no reason for the delay in applying to set aside the judgment in default. In the circumstances of this case I declined to exercise my discretion in favour of the defendant as I considered that they had treated the claim with total disregard. ~.....~.:~..•.....
