Coll v Tattum: ChD 21 Nov 2001

Where a defendant had failed to file an acknowledgement of service or defence in time, and the claimant sought judgment in default, the defendant could not, as of right, file an acknowledgement and defence late. He must apply to the court for relief, but an extension of time might normally be granted.
