The self-represented individual defendant brought a motion to set aside a noting in default entered against him and two corporate defendants in an action for breach of a commercial equipment lease.
The court proceeded only with the individual defendant's motion, as he lacked leave to represent the corporations.
The court dismissed the motion, finding the defendant failed to demonstrate a bona fide intention to defend the claim, provided no explanation for his failure to defend or his two-year delay in bringing the motion, and failed to show an arguable defence on the merits.
