Court

High Court

The defendant defaulted on an interlocutory costs undertaking, failed to provide any satisfactory explanation or appear, and the liquidator's evidence established unexplained payments recoverable from the defendant except for $8,000 which remained contested; accordingly the defendant's defence was struck out and summary judgment entered for the plaintiff for $436,149.62 plus interest and costs.
