Defendants failed to produce convincing evidence that they did not receive the writ and related summonses delivered to their last known address; the judgment was therefore regular. Defendants also failed to demonstrate a meritorious defence with a real prospect of success because they had prior notice and ample opportunity to obtain expert evidence and adduce contrary proof but did not do so. Accordingly the court refused to exercise its discretion to set aside the default judgment and dismissed the summons.
