Heperu Pty Limited v Belle (No 3)

Heperu Pty Limited (the appellant) appealed to the Court of Appeal of New South Wales against orders made by the primary judge in proceedings concerning a dispute between Heperu Pty Limited and Belle (the respondent). The nature of the underlying dispute is not detailed in the provided text.

The central legal issue before the Court of Appeal was whether the primary judge had erred in setting aside a default judgment that had been entered against the respondent. This involved considering the principles governing the setting aside of default judgments, particularly in light of the Uniform Civil Procedure Rules 2005.

The Court of Appeal's reasoning and the legal principles applied are not fully elaborated in the provided text. However, the outcome indicates that the appeal was not entirely successful, as the respondent was ordered to pay 25% of the appellant's costs of the appeal. This suggests that while the appeal may have succeeded in some aspects, the respondent also achieved some measure of success, or the court considered it appropriate to apportion costs in this manner.
