The court exercised its discretion to rescind Brewer J's debarment order and grant an extension of time narrowly on conditions because the defendant genuinely had funding and representation problems, the default was not a prolonged pattern, there was a real arguable defence and the delay was not inordinate; relief was conditional on prompt compliance with discovery and payment of indemnity costs to address prejudice to the plaintiff.
