Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant sought rescission of a default judgment entered against it on 28 April 2011. The judgment arose from the applicant's failure to file a plea after being served with a Notice to plead, allegedly due to the negligence of its former legal practitioners. The applicant claimed it had a bona fide defence to the respondent's claim for $6,369.35.
