1. This is an appeal from the decision of the Master of the High Court made on the application of the defendant to set aside a default judgment entered by the High Court against the defendant. I do not think it is necessary for me here to recite the story that led to the making of the default judgment in the High Court or the reasons the defendant has now advanced as to the events leading to the default judgment being entered or the fact that it contended that it has merits on the defence.
