Pawel Szwed v Aviva Insurance Ltd
[2026] EWHC 1425 (KB)
Key Principle
On an application to set aside the automatic strike-out of an appeal following non-compliance with an unless order, the court applies the three-stage Denton v TH White framework (as applied to extensions of time and relief by Hysaj and Lakatamia v Su): assessing the seriousness of the breach, the reason for it, and all the circumstances; relief is refused where the breach is serious and there is no good reason.
