SUMMARY OF FACTS
There is no substance in this appeal. Some feeble efforts were made to impugn the order for substituted service, but we are satisfied that the relevant Rules of court were duly complied with and the judgment entered in due course of law. The action was one on the undefended list and it cannot be disputed that the necessary formalities were complied with.
HELD
The appeal fails and it is dismissed. The appellant will pay to the respondent the costs of the appeal fixed at N72.
