The default judgment was set aside because the affirmation of service was materially defective (failing to state letter‑box insertion and the mandatory 7‑day knowledge opinion) and the defendant was not within Hong Kong at the relevant time so service by letter box was ineffective; these defects rendered the judgment irregular and entitled the defendant as of right to have it set aside.
