Substituted service did not bring the proceedings to Mr Du's attention; on the merits Mr Du demonstrated a reasonable prospect of success because the Deed and surrounding documents allowed an interpretation that the defendants had an option (not an absolute obligation) to purchase the shares, which, if correct, defeats the plaintiffs' claim on the promissory notes; accordingly the default judgment and ancillary orders were set aside and the O.14 summons dismissed, with unconditional leave to defend.
