The primary judge exercised his discretion and dismissed the application to set aside the default judgment.

The key legal issues that the court needed to address were whether the primary judge exercised his discretion correctly and whether the appellant had a reasonable prospect of successfully defending the claim. The court examined the criteria for setting aside a default judgment and whether the appellant had demonstrated sufficient grounds to warrant the setting aside of the judgment. The court also considered the appellant's reasons for the delay in applying to set aside the judgment and whether there were any special circumstances that justified the delay.
