Service by insertion through the letter box was defective because the defendant was not within Hong Kong when the writ was served; subsequent notice of the proceedings does not cure that defect; accordingly the default judgment was irregular and must be set aside unconditionally given the plaintiff's conduct and lack of good faith in pursuing default judgment.
