    Court
    High Court

    Leave to appeal and the extension of time were refused because the proposed grounds did not challenge the determinative defect: there was no direct evidence as to when the LCRO decision was reported to the complainants so the statutory 30 day period under s161 could not be computed and the default judgment could not properly have been entered.

    • Default judgment
    • Statutory stay (s161)
    • Computation of time
    • Jurisdiction to review fees
