    RE: GRAHAM MEAD also known as GRAHAM PETER MEAD, a Debtor and EX PARTE: MANCHES & CO., a Creditor
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCB821/1998

    The OSS lacks power to overturn a court judgment; the defect in delivery of the bill was technical and did not render the English default judgment void; the debtor had no meritorious defence and could not pay the judgment debt, therefore a bankruptcy order was justified.

    • Statutory demand
    • Default judgment
    • Service of bill of costs (solicitors act s.69)
    • Powers of office for the supervision of solicitors
    • Setting aside foreign judgment
