Facts of the Case
Background
The applicants sought an urgent chamber application for stay of execution of a default judgment granted in HC 2258/21, which nullified their lease agreement and required the second respondent to sign a new lease in favor of the first respondent. They intended to file for rescission of that judgment but were delayed by COVID-19 lockdown restrictions.
