Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant sought rescission of a default judgment granted on 2 March 2022. The judgment had been granted after the respondent's opposing papers were filed with an incorrect case number (HC 651/2022 instead of HC 436/2022), causing them not to appear on the court record. The applicant had filed opposing papers before the dies induciae expired and brought the anomaly to the respondent's attention.
