practical guide for practitioners considering whether to review an
erroneous Default Judgment.
UCPR Rule 791
In Queensland, a decision of a Registrar can be
"appealed" under Rule 791 of the
Uniform Civil Procedure Rules (UCPR).
The Rule provides a party, dissatisfied with a decision, with the
right to bring an application under Rule 791
(Application) for the decision to be reheard.
When an Applicant files a Request for Default Judgment
(Request) and the Registrar either refuses to
grant Default Judgment or issues Default Judgment for amounts
different to those claimed in the Request, the Applicant must
decide whether to review or not to review.
