The Case
While an appeal against a refusal to set aside a judgment entered in default of compliance with an order of the court might be described as procedural, and trial judges had to be given a margin of discretion in procedural matters, none the less the court had to be satisfied that that there had been no error of law, that all the relevant factors (and no others) had been taken into account and that, looking at the matter overall, the judge's conclusion was not plainly wrong.
