Default judgment was set aside because the defendant demonstrated a real prospect of success by adducing potentially credible evidence that the refuelling was unauthorised and done by crew for their own benefit, raising triable issues as to course of employment; no evidence of calculated or malicious delay and no prejudice shown to plaintiff, so discretion to set aside was exercised in favour of defendant while making costs orders.
