If you believe that to be the case, and you stand by the comment that the appeals court does not make decisions based on the merits, under what circumstance could the appeals court overturn or reduce a decision rendered via default judgement?

The trial judge was very clear on the rule of law and his decision based on Rontans refusal to participate.

The appeals court would have to ignore presidence and the rule of law. To get where you are trying to go. They would have to weigh in on the merits of the default judgement itself to overturn any judgement in this case.

You mentioned that GDSI knew about the taxes. This could have been raised during the course of trial but was not it is a decided merit of the case. The trial judge addressed this in his rulings. The appeals court may not change that finding of fact according to your prior statement.
