The appellant appealed a decision refusing to set aside a default judgment.
She argued the judgment was signed irregularly before the 20-day service period elapsed and that she had a defence on the merits.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding that while the judgment was signed irregularly, the appellant suffered no prejudice, and relief against the irregularity was granted under Rule 2.01.
Furthermore, the appellant had no defence on the merits as it was undisputed she received $600,000 from the sale of her property.
