Catchwords

Civil procedure – a claim grounded on the tort of conspiracy to injure is for an unliquidated amount and a judgment in default in appearance has to be for an interlocutory judgment with damages to be assessed. It follows that a judgment in default entered for a liquidated amount as claimed by the plaintiff is an abuse of process and a nullity. Damages – punitive and exemplary damages are interchangeable and mean the same thing, and judgment cannot be entered for both although separately claimed
