Holding

The applicant is not entitled to the orders sought and the judgment is not set aside.

Facts

The claimant filed a notice of motion application seeking to set aside a judgment and decree of the court, and arrest a ruling on the claimant's bill of costs. The respondent/applicant claimed that the judgment was not served properly and that the claimant was not given a chance to be heard.

Issues

  1. Is the applicant entitled to the orders sought?
  2. What is the effect of the non-notification of the judgment date to the applicant?

Reasoning

The court found that the applicant did not adequately respond to the issue of non-notification of the judgment date and that the failure to notify the applicant did not constitute a breach of the right to fair hearing.

Outcome

The application is dismissed.

Orders
