Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant issued summons for confirmation of agreement of sale and ejectment in 2014. The respondent entered appearance to defend but failed to plead and was barred, resulting in default judgment. The respondent then filed an application for rescission of the default judgment in 2016 but failed to prosecute it for over 5 years, prompting the applicant to apply for its dismissal for want of prosecution.
