Evidence accepted by court from defendant who defaulted on counter statement

Dear Respected Lawyers,

1. The defendant has defaulted on counter statement and matter went for orders
2. The defendant filed a counter statement which did not constitute a counter statement (plaintiff 140 paras vs defendant only 18 paras, did not address key issues at all), they have also lied on affidavit 
3. Court accepts defendant to lead evidence (is this allowed), can we ask court  the descretion it used to accept evidence ?

Thanks in advance
