The Court allowed the appeal and set aside the judge's refusal to extend time and the default judgment because the judge had erred by failing to take into account relevant considerations (first application, plaintiff's own delay, lack of prejudice to plaintiff and the defendants' meritorious jurisdictional challenge regarding possession or control of the ten vessels), and justice required permitting the defendants 14 days to file their defence.
