Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant's property was attached by the Sheriff to satisfy a judgment debt owed by SAISS Incorporation (Pvt) Ltd, in which the applicant is a shareholder. The applicant failed to file opposing papers in interpleader proceedings within the prescribed period, resulting in dismissal of its claim. The applicant then filed an application for rescission of the default judgment and concurrently sought a stay of execution pending determination of the rescission application.
