The default judgment against the 2nd defendant was set aside unconditionally because, in the particular and unusual factual matrix, the writ after service was forwarded back to the plaintiff (the 2nd's contact person) and the 1st defendant and the company on record had no opportunity to defend; coupled with serious triable issues on the merits and the fact the 1st defendant will defend, it was unjust and unfair to allow the judgment to stand and no conditions were imposed.
