Default judgment was appropriate because the defendant failed to appear, service and affidavits were proved, and the plaintiff established entitlement to the first cause of action as a liquidated sum; for the cargo claims the court treated settled claims as liquidated and, where claims 4 and 5 remained unsettled, fixed liquidated sums based on the plaintiff's settlement offer and probabilistic assessment, permitting judgment without a damages trial; interest and costs were properly awarded.
