Background
The appellant sought rescission of a default judgment granted against him in the Magistrate's Court regarding an anti-dissipation order over a Mercedes-Benz motor vehicle. The default judgment was granted when the appellant failed to appear on the postponed date of 2 August 2019, allegedly because his legal practitioner failed to inform him of the new date.
