Service was held valid because documents were delivered at the property's address and acknowledged in the presence of D1; the application to set aside was filed out of time (beyond 30 days) without satisfactory explanation; defendants failed to demonstrate a meritorious defence with documentary evidence (bare denial); execution routed via MTSA was procedurally acceptable given enforcement capacity. Therefore the application to set aside the order dated 30.5.2022 is dismissed with costs.
