Beyond that point however they are said to have disappea red. At about the time of receipt Mr Raj was away on other important business, He was not made aware after his return that document had arrived at the office. He has been unable to ascertain who took possession of the documents. Both Mr Raj and Mr Gayanan d Singh who would otherwise handle all legal matters were fully engaged on that other important enquiry and were both absent together and have both sworn that with literally hundreds of court proceedings involving the Corporations over the years, fifty cur rent at the present time, the Corporation has never suffered judgment by default. It has always taken initial steps to protect its position.}{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid1048808 \par }{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid14120716\charrsid1048808 \par }{\b\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid1048808\charrsid14120716 Decision: \par }{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid14120716\charrsid1048808 \par }{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid1048808\charrsid1048808 I have read the judgment of the Court of Appeal in }{\b\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid1048808\charrsid7761721 Wearsmart Textiles Limited}{ \fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid1048808\charrsid1048808 Civil Appeal No ABU 0030/97S, Judgment 29 May}{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid7761721 }{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid1048808\charrsid1048808 1998 and the three English authorities which Counsel for the Defendant has supplied. I accept that the Defendants did not deliberately ignore these proceedings. The First Defendant however thought it was enoug h to pass on his responsibilities to somebody else and when served with notice that judgment in liability had been entered him did absolutely nothing. Not only was he at risk but he knew he had been found liable but he put his head in the sand. The Second Defendant}{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid15614087 '}{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid1048808\charrsid1048808 s actions are only a little more impressive. The purpose of registered mail is to enable all parties to trace a postal item from postage to delivery. The writ as a postal item is clearly identifiable and its progress through the postal system sho uld be in the postal records. On its affidavit the Second Defendant has taken no steps to enquire where the writ ended up. The inefficiency displayed in receipt of the later notices tends to show that the absence of the writ is probably more the fault of the Second Defendant than of the Post Office. The inefficiency to which I refer is the sudden and completely unexplained disappearance of one item of mail apparently just because }{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid15614087 "}{ \fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid1048808\charrsid1048808 the boss was out of the office}{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid15614087 "}{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid1048808\charrsid1048808 .
