The court found the consent judgment was not indorsed with the penal notice required by O.45 r.7(4) and no Notice to Show Cause under O.52 r.2B was served; those mandatory procedural requirements were fatal and rendered the committal application invalid, therefore the Notice of Motion was dismissed with costs.
