The application to set aside the judgment was dismissed because the plaintiff's absence at trial was deliberate, there were no very strong reasons to justify a retrial, the plaintiff lacked a real prospect of success on the rent shortfall claim, the defendant would be prejudiced and had acted on the judgment, the applicant unreasonably delayed about 15 months, and public interest and proportionality of costs under the Civil Justice Reform weighed against setting aside the judgment.
