The appeal was dismissed because, although there was an arguable defence (contributory negligence), the insurer and defendant displayed inexcusable delay and lack of competence in failing to act to prevent interlocutory judgment; setting the judgment aside would cause irreparable prejudice to a fair trial by further staling witness memory and the court exercised its discretion against granting relief despite the arguable defence.
