The appellants sought to set aside a default judgment issued against them after an uncontested trial, and requested related relief.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding no inappropriate conduct by the plaintiff or error by the trial judge in conducting an uncontested trial.
The court emphasized that an appeal is not the proper route to seek to set aside a default judgment; rather, a motion under Rule 19.08(2) of the Rules of Civil Procedure should be brought first.
