The appeal was dismissed because the substituted service applications were valid despite references to the Bankruptcy Rules 1969, adequate attempts at personal service were proved, the underlying default judgment was final and enforceable until set aside, the liquidated sums stated met the statutory threshold for bankruptcy proceedings, the debtor failed to give timely notice of any counterclaim or set-off and thus committed an act of bankruptcy, and the delay in filing to set aside was excused by pandemic-related restrictions.
