Course Outline
Introduction
For claimants, achieving a judgment does not always bring litigation finality. In certain situations, the defendant is able to make an application to set it aside.
The triggers for setting aside a judgment are varied.
The best known is where a judgment is entered in default of a defendant filing either an acknowledgment of service or a defence. The ‘real prospect of successfully defending’ test under CPR 13.3 for this type of judgment to be voided is well known and now elided with relief from sanctions applications under CPR 3.9.
