Service was valid because evidence established the defendant acquired knowledge of the writ and was within the jurisdiction on 20 July 2012, displacing the deemed date of letter‑box service; the default judgment was therefore regular and, because the defendant is estopped by prior related judgments from raising a defence to the cheques, there was no real prospect of success to justify setting aside the default judgment, so the appeal is allowed and the Master's orders are set aside.
