Facts of the Case
Background
Applicants sought rescission of a default judgment entered against them on 13 July 2017 in HC 1403/14. The default judgment was for US$225,588.87 allegedly owed under a Lease Finance Facility and lease agreement. Applicants defaulted on the trial date because the first applicant was accompanying her sick husband (second respondent) to South Africa for medical treatment, believing the trial would be postponed.
