1. This is an application for judgment in default of defence. The reliefs sought are declarations. As has been submitted, it is not the normal practice of the court to make a declaration without a trial. However, this is a rule of practice and not of law. Where a claimant cannot obtain the fullest justice without a declaration the court should in a proper case grant declarations even in default of defence ( Patten v. Burke Publishing Co Ltd [1991] 2 All ER 821).
