Kaole Contracting and Engineering Company Limited v Mindeco Small Mines Limited (HN 201 of 1979) [1979] ZMHC 30 (22 November 1979) The applicant's default judgment was set aside for improper entry timing and defective service on the respondent. Civil procedure – Default judgment – Effective date when entered/dated by registrar – Judgment takes effect from its date as entered; Service – Limited company – Writ must be served at the registered office; improper service and registry error render default judgment irregular.	22 November 1979

Evidence — Identification: reliability of single-witness identification; honest mistake; burden on prosecution; possession of stolen property as corroboration; alibi investigation.	22 November 1979
