JUDGMENT [ 1 ] The filing of an application for a default judgment by an attorney clearly indicates the existence of an attorney-client mandate. Accordingly, the judge’s conclusion that in fact Appellant was represented at all relevant times by Me Wolofsky is not erroneous in the circumstances. [ 2 ] Therefore, the judge’s conclusion that Appellant did not seek revocation of the judgment of the Superior Court of March 11, 2016, dismissing her action, within the 30-day delay prescribed by the C.C.P ., is well-founded. [ 3 ] Consequently, the appeal has no reasonable chance of success.
FOR THESE REASONS : [ 4 ] The Application to dismiss the appeal is GRANTED and the appeal is DISMISSED , with legal costs. JACQUES J. LEVESQUE, J.A. DOMINIQUE BÉLANGER, J.A. MARK SCHRAGER, J.A.
