Flynote
Costs — delay due to administrative incompetence — proper course is to mulct the offender in costs — rescission of judgment — applicant seeking an indulgence from the court — will usually have to bear costs even if successful in the action — each case to be decided on its merits.
Practice and procedure — rescission of judgment — negligence — not in itself a sufficient reason for refusal to grant relief — entry of appearance to defend one day late — application to rescind judgment should not be refused unless applicant's case is hopeless.
