    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA2332/2024

    Defendant was not in default: she had filed an acknowledgement of service and a defence; plaintiff received and did not dispute service; some of plaintiff's interlocutory requests were withdrawn and imposed no continuing obligation to reply; and the claim seeks damages not a sum certain, therefore the statutory provisions for entering final judgment for want of action do not apply; the plaintiff's application to enter judgment for want of action is dismissed and costs are awarded against the plaintiff.
