In Edwards v. Ferris 2001 CarswellAlta 1743, 2001 ABQB 1125, [2002] 4 W.W.R. 363, 99 Alta. L.R. (3d) 370, 316 A.R. 40, Justice Slatter, as he then was, noted that it was an unusual application where the plaintiff was the one seeking to set aside a default judgment.

Because the plaintiff who takes a default judgment must do so deliberately and intentionally, the plaintiff must show a good reason why the default judgment should be set aside.
