Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant sought to set aside a notice of withdrawal filed in 2009 regarding his claim to leadership/inheritance of the Marange Apostolic Church of St Johanne, alleging he never authorized the withdrawal. The fourth respondent, who had been acting as the applicant's agent, allegedly instructed the applicant's former legal practitioners to withdraw the case falsely claiming the dispute had been resolved.
