The moving party brought an urgent motion to set aside a default judgment and discharge a writ of seizure and sale registered against her property.
The motion was brought during the COVID-19 suspension of Small Claims Court operations, as the property sale was scheduled to close immediately.
The Superior Court exercised its inherent jurisdiction to lift the writ on the condition that sufficient funds be held in trust to protect the judgment, while adjourning the motion to set aside the default judgment to the Small Claims Court once operations resume.
