Default judgment was properly entered because the claim was a liquidated demand quantified by the plaintiff's contractual liability to its principal, the plaintiff proved valid service and verified its claim, no defence was filed within the prescribed time, and the statutory framework (r 15.7 and s 17 Interest on Money Claims Act 2016) supports awarding the claimed loss, interest in foreign currency, and costs and disbursements.
