Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant sought rescission of a default judgment ordering payment of $54 225.99 in terminal benefits. The judgment was granted after the respondent's legal practitioners proceeded with an unopposed application despite prior indications that the applicant intended to oppose based on a ZIMRA audit revealing additional tax liabilities exceeding the benefits due.
