Applicant failed to prove the default judgment was irregular or obtained by fraud and did not take steps to have it set aside; a default judgment remains valid until set aside; given the unexplained delay and absence of indisputable evidence that the HK$70,000 reduced the Applicant's liability, the adjudication ought not to be annulled and the application is dismissed.
