Overview:
The case involved an appeal to the Court of Appeal for British Columbia. Mr. Ahmad, the appellant, sought to overturn a chambers judge's dismissal of his application for default judgment.

Legal Issues:

1. Default Judgment Requirements: The appellant argued the chambers judge erred by dismissing his request for default judgment under Rule 3-8 of the Supreme Court Civil Rules.

2. Timeliness of Respondents’ Filing: The appellant claimed default judgment should have been granted because his requisition for default judgment predated the respondents’ filing of their response to civil claim (RTCC).

Court’s Analysis and Findings:

• The court found that the respondents had filed their RTCC before the registrar considered the appellant’s requisition.

• The appellant failed to comply with Rule 3-8(2)(b), which required proof that the respondents had not served a RTCC.

• The appellant was aware the RTCC was filed before his application to the chambers judge.

Decision and Costs:
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, agreeing with the chambers judge that the procedural rules were not met. No specific costs or awards were mentioned in favor of the respondents in the judgment.
