Holding

The court dismissed the Respondent's application to set aside the default judgment and discharged the interim orders.

Facts

The Claimant alleged a false employment claim against the Respondent, but the Respondent argued a good defence and had not filed a response for over five years.

Issues

  1. Whether the Respondent was served with the Claimant's Memorandum of Claim and Summons
  2. Whether the Respondent's application to set aside the default judgment was frivolous, vexatious, and a waste of court's time

Reasoning

The court found that the Respondent was duly served and had not filed a response for over five years, thus the Respondent's application was dismissed.

Outcome

Appeal dismissed

Orders

  • Interim orders discharged
