The summons to set aside the judgment was dismissed because the defendant's excuse for non‑attendance was not credible, he had no real prospect of success based on the evidence and inconsistencies, the fresh evidence was not admissible at this stage, and setting aside would cause significant prejudice to the plaintiff (including undoing possession/enforcement and the bankruptcy outcome); moreover the Official Receiver is the proper party to represent the bankrupt's interests and had taken a neutral stance.
