Although an application to set aside the UK default judgment was purportedly filed, the court refused to exercise its wide discretion under s 7(1) because the judgment debtor delayed more than a year in taking substantive steps, provided sparse evidence and advanced weak, speculative defences (estoppel, interest abatement, contract construction); delay and lack of real prospects of success justified dismissal and preservation of registration.
