Where a writ is sent by registered post to the defendant's usual or last known address and the postal packets are not returned, service is deemed effective under Order 10 r.1(2)(a) and Cap.1 s.8; a default judgment signed on that basis is regular and the defendant cannot obtain its setting aside as of right without showing a meritorious defence; accordingly the Registrar's order setting aside the judgment was wrong and is set aside on appeal.
