J U D G M E N T

_______________

1. I heard argument on this appeal first on July 29^th. I adjourned the hearing as it appeared to me that the plaintiff might have been prejudiced by the defendant obtaining a default judgment when there was apparently an O.14 appeal.

2. At today's hearing I have read the affidavits filed and listened to further submissions, as well as the written submissions.

3. I consider that the judgment entered in the counterclaim was regularly obtained.

4. The plaintiff is adopting delaying tactics, there appears to be an admission to this claim. I can find no proven defence to the claim for $1,371,827.40.

5. The appeal is allowed. The charging order remains. Costs of the appeal be to the Defendant.
