The application to set aside the consent order was refused because the alleged misunderstanding by the 1st defendant was wholly unsupported by evidence, counsel had ostensible authority and expressly agreed the terms, and consent orders are contractual and are only set aside in exceptional circumstances; the court would not accept the uncorroborated oral evidence from counsel at the bar table.
