(Dec. 552-553.) SeeEyal Reporting Serv. v. Gouin, 2006 Mass. App. Div. 99, citingBerube v. McKisson Wine Spirits Co., 7 Mass. App. Ct. 426, 431 (1979) (no removal of default judgment mandated where counsel's explanation for failing to appear at status conference for third time was simply "the product of a consciously chosen course of conduct on the part of counsel"). The question of whether the judge's denial of the purported motion for a continuance was an abuse of discretion, and therefore arbitrary or capricious under ยง 11C, is easily answered.
