- HCA298/2017
The court set aside the regular default judgments because the defendants had discharged the burden of showing by potentially credible evidence that they had a real prospect of success on the merits; the delay and other factors did not outweigh the merits; the impugned without prejudice materials could be admitted (at least to explain delay) and therefore were not expunged; defendants were granted leave to file Acknowledgments of Service and Defence and Counterclaim without additional conditions.
