Court of Appeal for Ontario

Oyj v. Reinikka

Date: 2000-03-10

Ville K. Masalin, for the appellant;

Respondent's counsel not disclosed.

(Court File No. C32676)

[1] By the Court: It is not in dispute that the appellant had been properly notified of the automatic right to a trial on the merits of the claim contained in the original proceedings when he was served with the default judgment. The appellant did not avail himself of this right. We therefore find no error in the decision of Pitt, J., to register the Finnish judgment. The appeal is therefore dismissed with costs.

Appeal dismissed.
