Service by ordinary post was ultimately proven to comply with Order 65 r5 after acceptance of a supplemental affirmation showing use of the firm's private franking machine; the defendant failed to prove non-receipt on the balance of probabilities; the defendant, however, demonstrated a real prospect of success because the judicial review grounds were reasonably arguable and therefore the court exercised its residual discretion to set aside the Order 14 judgment; limited prejudice to the plaintiff from setting aside was established and the defendant did not seek restoration of possession.
