Procedural Posture

Commercial / Judgment on Application for Default Judgment and Related Orders

Legal Issues

  3. 3 Effect of a prior settlement agreement on the notice of default

Ratio Decidendi

The defendants failed to acknowledge service in time and have no credible defence. The settlement agreement did not vitiate the notice of default, and Boeing's mortgage rights as unsatisfied mortgagee prevail over the freezing order.
