Service by registered post was valid because the writ was posted to the defendant's usual Hong Kong address, was not returned, and on the balance of probability the defendant acquired knowledge of the writ on 17 April 2009 when he returned to Hong Kong; although the default judgment was regular, the court set it aside because the defendant demonstrated a real prospect of success and there was a risk of injustice if the matter were not adjudicated on its merits.
