    JA-A72NCvC-1332-11/2021 (Mahkamah Majistret)

    The substituted service and service by registered post were found to be regular and were not separately challenged; the defendant failed to disclose a meritorious defence because documentary evidence (application for supply and tenancy documents) supported the plaintiff's case and the defendant's assertions amounted to bare denials; there was no proven delay in bringing the application. Therefore the application to set aside the default judgment is dismissed with costs.
